on Friday evening was one of un-
usual interest. A reporter of the
Age was present, and he took some
notes. Had he known that things
were going to be lively ho would
have been prepared to take them
more completely, They will not
catch us napping next time.
Alderman Stanley, Chairman of
the Finance Committee, brought in
what he called a supplementary re-
port, with a set of resolutions to the
effect that the Council reject the of-
fer of the bondholders to settle our
financial troubles on a basis of thirty
