MATCH CO. STILL QUIBBLING.

City Council Refuses to Accept Bond of Company for Indemnity. Contract with the U. S. Match Co., for indemnity for the laying of water mains to the “match factory,” together with a “bond” with the said U. S. Match Co., as prin-i cipai and surety in the sum of $750 and the personal letter from secretary O’Shaunessy, stating that it was impossible for them to secure a bond from any of the bonding companies doing business in Chicago, was presented at the meeting of the City Council Monday night, when all members were present except Mayor Meyers and councilman Hopkins. O’Shaunessy said in his letter that he hoped the council would find everything satisfactory and execute a contract so that work could be started at' once. The “bond,” however, is precisely the same sort of a bond as Purtelle put up in the Newton tp., railroad subsidy election, and which by the way, was forfeited bnt never paid, and the council very properly rejected it and notified the clerk to so inform the U. S. M. Co., and say that the council would accept a surety bond or the cash.
