Rogers is willing to advance : Ordered, that the City seal be given to Ald. Rogers for the sum of 120 pounds, and likewise for the former sum of 140 pounds-in all 260 pounds; and if any of the sum remain unex- pended, same to be endorsed on back of the bond, and when the work shall _be complete, Ald.
