The Iutercst Plan of the Council Isa
Good Effects VUlble Already Tbe En
terprise Having Dank O fieri to Bay
the ilew Order al Par The Old
Worth ninety so !flnety-Flve Cent on
II Dollar.
Some, of tbo members of tho Council
timidly approached the proposition to put
ten percent, interest on all scrip hereafter
issued, nnd two or thrco held back because
they were afraid a fow men would bo ben
efited by the interest. But, after travail,
the Council finally brought forth its in
terest bearing scrip scheme its first finan
cial child and it is prospering beyond
expectation.
Two months ugo scrip was not worth
more than slxty-flvo cent on the dollar,
and was not saleable at that low price.
Tbe Citizen's Ticket was elected. Col
Taylor submitted a resolution that inter
est should bo placed on all scrip issued
under new contracts, and Tn Bulletix
enlarging on the suggestion, declared for
interest on all scrip to be hereafter issued,
for tho paymont of which no money was
in tho treasury. Tho Financo Commltteo
declared that Barkis was willin', and then
up scrip went to seventy, sevonty-flvc,
eighty, oighty-fivo nndninety cents on tho
dollar. Then tbe Council hesitated, and
down went tho prlco to eighty cents. Then
tho Council rallied again, and passed tbo
resolution published in tne Council pro
ceedings in anotbor column, and up now
the nerf scrip stands at par, wbilo tbo old
only lags fivo and ten cents behind, with
tho promiso of getting up to par in a fow
days.
Thcro is but one othor thing to bo done
by tho Council, and that is to keep tbe
outgo within tho income. If this is dono,
our financial troubles will soon bo at an
end, and Mayor Lansden, who has given
to this mcusuro hearty but discreet sup
port, arid his Council, will receive tho
thanks duo to thorn from cverv citizen of
Cairo.
