Johnstone, by request of the city clerk stated that the amount of street duty collected showed an increase of about $300, that the present administration had nearly doubled the license as collected un der the old system, that the fines in the mayor's court had been nearly doubled, that $ix3 was still die on rents, and that the dispen sary profits showed aI slight decrease due, the city clerk thought, to the establishlmIelit of the 'rosperily di pelnsary.

At $3, 500 a year it would take a long tIlne to lift a debt drawing an annual in crest of $2,000. But counIcil did not. even propose to apply this $3, Soo especially to the floating debt, bIt it was to go for general pur pmss. anld the debt would simliply pile up. Let ns have a m11ore (Coil omical, not parsinonious, adminis tration. and it will furnish this $3, 500. * Mr. Alan Johnstone said the troublesome floating debt must be dealt with heroically. ' It was patent that $3,500 a year, part of which was to be applied to some thing else, would do little towards liquidating a debt of $24,000 with intereat running at the rate of $2, ooo a year. He moved as a substi tute for the motion before the house that a committee, composed of the seven gentlemen heretofore appoint ed by the citizens meeting to obtain information in regard to the floating indebtedneFs and the current expenses, with the addition of the chairman of the Ime-eting, ie apointed to confer with cottncil and, ifte r due deliberatin, t II n -kconommical b :i1,:m-- 1): met( mt of the preseint rev 0u.s the Mr. F. 11. Dominick thought that to adopt the substitute would be practically to go back to the starting point. A com-nittee had been appointed to look into the town's finances and had reported. \\ hy should not the matter be taken up and settled right here? It might take a long time to pay the debt of the town with S3,500 a year, but :a start must he made. iIe thiought the best thim.- for the Illeeting to do was to take up a i y inqualiti(s. which Imigit he in tile ordiniane and adjust them. lie didn't un derstanid how a Vy real estate OwII could object to the liceise tax. It it did not help thoe real estate owner, lie would like to know whoi it did help.

An interest could nlot he kept up amloing the citizens. The meeting had enough informa tion before it. Why not act? All that could be accomplished by waiting would be to get po'ssibly exact figures. The result would be the same. Tle expel-.6itures exceeded the revenues. The float ing debt amnounted to about $25,000 and it would take 164 mills to pay it at once. It was his idea to fund it and let it run through a period of, say, ten years The bonded indebtedness was plain. Any body could understand that. The meeting had gone far beyond its scope. It was called at first to consider the license ordinance and had then gone into these other matters. He moved as an aiend ment to the substitute that the "ounittee meet with the town council and memorialize the legis lature to authorize a special tax to meet this floating debt. Col.
