CLUB WILL URGE REFUND BONDS COMMERCIAL BODY TO NAME COMMITTEE. Weekly Luncheon Hears DIscuhhIoh f City Finances, KmllnK to Vote to HePk 'axh For OutHtand lug WurruntH-rtO Attenil. Discussion of the city's financial condition and the passage of a motion for the appointment of a committee to cooperate with the council In ob taining a refunding bond issue to take up outstanding warrants, said to amount to $19,000, was the chief business to come before the Com mercial club at Its luncheon thli noon. Over 50 members and guests were present, the largest attendance In months. In the absence of Prji ident Foley, Vice-President Miller presided. In opening the financial discussion Councilman McKay read the items of the budget proposed by the council in December, showing the total to be about $25,000, while the amount to be raised by taxation, since the voters refused to go over the six per cent limit, was about $13,000. C. S Hud son, after stating that the First Na tional Bank was now carrying about $10,000 in city warrants and was un willing to take more without charg ing a discount rate that would seem to he unreasonable, pointed out that, with warrants badly depreciated. It would be impossible for the city to get any kind ot value for the service rendered it hereafter unless money were found to take up the present in debtedness. It this money were found the bank would again discount warrants at as low as three per cent. some,- air. Huason, .were against la- -suing bonds for current expenses, but under the existing circumstances refunding (bonds seemed not only Jus tifiable but necessary, if the city were going to have its business run prop erly tots year. In closing, Mr. Hud son moved the appointment of a com mittee to meet with the council sod a campaign committee to insure tke passage of a refunding measure wfcea brought before the people." Discussion then centering on the motion. Councilman Bennett urged its adoption stating his belief that such a measure could be passed. R. P. Minter also spoke in favor. Coun cilman Steidl pointed out that," while the tax rate was apparently high, as a matter of fact it was low because of the very low valuations here, some property being assessed for $300 which could not be bought tor $6000. V. A. Forbes warned against Is suing refunding bonds and then fail ing to keep expenses within the lim its of the city revenue, making neces sary the Issuance of further refund ing bonds next year. On a vote the club adopted the mo tion. It was also voted to purchase British and French flags. A suggestion made by Floyd De ment that a point should be made in the "city's advertising of the maay sunny days here, "Sunny Bend" be ing suggested as a slogan, was re ferred to a committee tor action.
