Mr. Scheuer arose to ask what the council intended to
do with the money resulting from the sale of the bonds to the
State Board of Finance. He declared it his belief that the other
bonds were not salable and that inasmuch as a water system could
not be installed for $14,000 it was folly to sell them.
The Mayor replied at length, explaining that no one
knew whether the bonds could be sold as no attempt had been made
to sell them. He said that every thing depended upon the sale of
general obligation bonds to the State Board of Finance. He asked
that every one withhold judgment until the plans under way had had
time to materialize.
Mr. Greene asked that the permission given him by the
street committee to repair and rebuild his four -foot sidewalk be
made a part of the minutes so as "to be a matter of record. The
request was granted.
No further business apperring a motion that the coun-
cil adjourn was made, seconded and carried. Time 9:41 p. m.
