Why the Bills Were Not Paid
By direction of the Finance Committee of the Common Council the clerk gave notice that election claims must be in his hands before Friday night for council action. Bills were audited and would have been paid last night if the clerk had been directed by the Finance Committee. The delay stems from low city funds and a desire to save ten days interest by delaying payment. Taxes are not due to be paid until the 21st, making the delay embarrassing to those expecting payment for domestic demands.
