He explained that demands had

for payment of the
money and that neither the money
was secured nor any information
as to how the money may be secur-ed
until next fall. Mr Fisher stated
that the county commissioners had
told a representative of the bor-ough,
alter a request for the funds
had been made, that the matter was
n. the hands of the controller, that
the funds could not be paid until

Solicitor Forrest informed council
that he had made a request of the
county commissioners fur the money
and was informed payment could

had the account audited and the

next fall.
Mr Fisher said the action of the
commissioners practically places
control of borough activities in
their hands as council cannot jerry
uii without funds and owing to ihe
editions in the business
world, the return from taxes will be
slow
Mr. Coyne asked for Information
