Hv ing received the endursaUon of the electors at the polls the members of the ticket had proceeded to make economies and had submitted the case of the city to lite bondholders to ascertain if it would be possible to pay the Interest alone on bonded indebtedness at this time, leaving the principal standing meantime. Expenses ol the city hart been reduced as f.r as pos-iUIr and public of had ben reduced almost tc, IKHIIII1K In view of the u'tn i.dunent and on economic which li.nt been mdc. Aid Basso -Bert felt that the city council should not ir:nit the application in for appolntiient of n commissioner to go unprotested. Some thought should be given to the consequences of relinquishing all civic powers to such an official. He would not work in favor of the ratepayers but he would come In with the sole object of collecting he all the money he could In the Interests of the creditors. Property a owners, who had long striven to rarve out a city here, would be the victims. He Ald. Basso-Bort did not believe tn the passive attitude which had been adopted by some other members oi tne councu in lewing a In commissioner come in. Rather, he thought that the council should stand off a commlaslonershlp as ions as nossible. He challenged the statement that had been made by some that a commissioner would be able to do better than a city council because of the fact Uiat he would have more power. Hp .Aid.

He was not familiar with the exact financial position of the cty but he believed It to be very serious. In forestalling receivership. Aid. Rud-derham thought that it would be advisable, rather than opposing the court action unless the city were In position to show Its ability to carry on, to send a strong memor andum to the provincial government, setting forth the full facta and asking the government to give serious consideration to the poatl- ouity of the city council carrying as efficiently as could a receiv After all, whether it was a commissioner or a city council. It would necessary to first maintain such services as schools and hospttale and then do what was possible for the bondholders. . Aid. Vesch could not see the advisability of trying to stop a commission rship by paying the $M Interest coupon Within a week there would probably be another similar application. The city was simply unable to carry on until the taxes came in. It had no money and could not borrow any.

Rochester explained that when the ticket had offered itself for election, they had not known definitely the city's financial position. They had since found out. however, and be was free to admit that they had found It to be beyond then control. It was Impossible to carry on without funds. Debentures were due and must be paid or something done about It. He had been elected to represent the inter est of the ratepayers and not those the bondholders but it must be remembered that the latter had bought these securities in good faith the avurance of the city that they were a perfectly good thing. ' A commissioner would not come to run the city Into the ground but to straighten things out and put the city on Its feet again, AM. Rochester declared. To do that the commissioner would be clothed with greater powers and more authority than the city council possessed. By having absolute control, would be able to effect greater savings. The city had got Itself Into mess that He believed It would take possibly five or ten years to clean up. The city now had commitments amounting to $415,000 and would probably have no more than $375,000 to meet this amount with. He believed that the city was no position to carry on and for this reason he was not opposing the more to appoint a commissioner. Mayer Stephens declared that the city was in no position to pay Its way. Salaries of employees were behind none having been paid since March 1, city accounts were In the same position. $3S,O0O in bonds and Interest had been unpaid since December 1 last ind there were other bills totalling $13,000 which had been carried over from last year. Without taking Into consideration exchange. Interest and social services, est 1 ma tes for this yenr amounted to $455,000. Collection for last year had totalled $390,000 and the city could not expect to collect this much this year. There was no means of bridging the gap between revenue and necessary expenditures. Aid.
