♦the permanent maps of the streets so
as to establish a permanent record
of the sidewalk grade.
It was reported to the council that

streets clean, as there were several
instances where he had been request

failed to do. The matter was dis
*
-.cussed and left in the hands of Coun

with Mr. Braxton.

in an unsafe condition and must be
replaced, and if this was not done, the
council would condemn the sidewalks,
have them rebuilt, and assess the cost
to the property. As to the other side
walks mentioned in the report, the
street committee was requested to
look into the matter and have the
l^operty owners make the necessary
repairs.
Councilman Brock called the coun
cil’s attention to the sidewalk on First
street between the postoffice and Pey

ARGENTINE T
i
BUENOS AIRES, June 8 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The Argentine gov
ernment having failed to obtain either
j in Europe or the United States a pro
posed loan to enable it to consolidate
its floating debt of about $265,000,
000, it now plans to resort to a domes
tic loan for the purpose, it is reported.
President Irigoyen, it is said, intends
to bring the matter before congress
shortly and ask authorization to issue
the bonds. Newspaper comment upon
the idea is generally favorable, it be
ing pointed out that there is no other
recourse.
While the flotation of such a large
internal loan will be unprecendented j
in Argentina, the growing wealth of
the country is cited as propitious for
its success. It is pointed out, more
over, that subscriptions in Argentine
to the Italian loan reached $140,000.
