The Bonding & Insurance company bonded Smith for 340000 but notified authorities an inspector would be sent. City officials plan a conference with the bonding company and a warrant will be issued once a complaint is filed. An aldermanic investigation is urged into city operations over the past year, including treasurer, contracts, supplies, and public works.
