council, she having asked the council to reconsider their previous action and reimburse
her revolving fund. Hotion'ma:de by Pyles, seconded by McGee, that the matter be laid

PROPOSED PURCHASE OF ROCK CRUSHER: At the request of the council, State Examiner
( Wesley Smith suggested two methods in which the purchase of a rock crusher could be _
one thru a bond issue of $3500.00, which the city could buy, thereby providing
y an investment for some of the sinking funds; the other method would be by issuing
emergency warrants, these warrants to be Marked as "Eme-rgency Warrants" and to be provided
for in the 1929 budget. By use -of the bond method, the payments back into the city
treasurer could be spread out over a period of several years and '.Mould not tend to reduce
the budget allowance for maintenance purposes.
A motion was thereupon made by Pyles; seconded by (lays, that the City' ttorney
be instructed to bring in an emergency ordinance, declaring an emergency of .'3000.00ex_
isted, due to the acquisition of a rock crushing plant and site complete. I:=ayor ordered
a'-roll'ca.•11 and all voted for the motion.
