original tender of the week before
was made after a talk with Dr. Wes
ley and City Attorney O’Neil who
gave him to understand that his offer
was just. The letter stated that they
agreed to bring tho matter before the
council and explain the way in which
was made. Had this been done Mr.
Polet would not have put in such an
unpleasant light. He disclaimed any
idea of offering a bribe to the city b>
throwing in the extra money for good
measure.
City Attorney O’Neil reported that
the delinquent personal tax list was
ready for publication and recommend
ed that it be published on Wednes
day in the official paper. He denied
advising Polet that he was overtaxed
out admitted that he might have said

I there was too much loafing about the
office of the city clerk. It made it
unpleasant for people doing business
there. He confessed that he hadloef
ed some there ^himself but others had
one a good deal more of it.
Councilman Roteet under the head
heard many complaints of this and
.nought an end should be put to the
practice. He was supported by a Mr.
Austin from the audience who stated
that he knew of a man who when
registering had been asked by Coun

vote. Dr. Wesley asked the name of
the man and on learning it said that
