Galveston
special to the Herald
GALVESTON, November 11.-An ordinance
approved June Is, 1878, authorized the is
suing of bonds of the city of Galveston to
the amount of $4,000, payable fifteen years
from their date, bearing 10 per cent. per an
mum until paid to the Galveston Agricul-
tural, Horticultural and Industrial associa-
tion, being the subscription of the city Of
Galveston to the stock. On the 10Th
or Goth of September the Agricultural
horticultural and Industrial associa-
tion 10 per cents. were examined
by finance committee consisting of
three aldermen, city clerk and auditor,
and the determination arrived at is that
they were legal and just claim against
the city, and per cent. bonds ordered to
be issued in lieu of amount, $14,Sl0 1t ap-
pears the city attorney was not consulted
by the finance committee, although he had
expressed the opinion that the bonds were
illegal, Mayor Fisher has signed the bonds
upon representations of City Clerk Silse
and the finance committee.
At the meeting last Monday night,
Alderman Marlow, in conformity to re-
cent decision of the United States supreme
court, which declared no municipality
has power to issue bonds or levy
taxes for the support of any
private undertaking, offered resolution
declaring these bonds illegal, and that the
finance committee be instructed to strike
them from the debt statement of the city.
1t is learned that previous to offering the
resolution the bonds had already been
funded in per cent forty-year-limited
debt bonds, and that tho city clerk, Ilse,
and two members of the finance committee
present, were aware of the fact.
At called meeting last night Mr.. Fisher
stated that he had signed the bonds ignor-
antly and upon representations of the city
clerk. He has preferred charge of de-
ception against City Clerk Ise, and he was,
by a resolution Of the council, suspended
and committee appointed to investigate
the charge against the city clerk and en-
quire into the manner in which the bonds
were issued by the finance committee. The
resolution was adopted! that notice be given
that, the bonds will be in no wise recognized
by the city.
