The Aldermen held a meeting Wednesday night for the purpose of taking some action in regard to the bond situation. After a lengthy discussion, of the matter it was ordered that Keen and Company be advised that they must put up a certified check, to the sum of five thousandjjollars, as a forfeit for failure to complete the contract, by paying for the bonds by , July - the' third; or the contract will be declared void and the bonds will be -resold. This certified check must be on some bank in this 'state. Several weeks ago the Elizabeth City bond issue was sold tq Keen and Company of Chicago III'.. At the tlmo the Company ' put up a draft,, upon themselves, . sighed by and certified to- by. themselves; with other con ditions through which they . hedged and protected themselves. . .. i Then they began dallying about . paying for the; bonds, Everytlme Elizabeth . City wanted the money, Keen and, Company wanted moro lata and Inform hi ton about Elizabeth City's"" financial kanuing; TUla "baa ' gone on and on for the past two . ; months. Now ; Elizabeth City has much of the street paving done, and not a cent yet from the sale of the bonds. . This certified check put up as. a forfeit was taken to a lawyer some t time ago to know if Keen and Com pany could be made to pay for the bonds or pay the forfeit. After ex amining the draft the lawyer inform ed the city fathers that it was not worth a continental unless Keen & Company chose io pay It. And from the developments of! the past six weeks nobody has an idea that they would ever choose to do any thing of the sort. . Meanwhile the City's notes are be ing given In payment for tbo paving as it is completed. This sort of thing has gone on long enough, and the alder . . men are determined that something is going to be done pretty soon. If Keen and Company want those bonds they have got to take-them and pay for them at once. Else the bond will be resold, the aldermen taking care to make tho best terms thoy can and to deal with a suitable concern. CELEBRATED HER 21ST BIRTHDAY Mrs J. A.
