Again "a ROOIlss Up, over seven Per
Cent. Being Offered for Bonds.
The finance committee met in the office
of Comptroller Roche yesterday and opened
the bids for the $500, 600 bonds for the
Robert street bridge. -Four bids were re-
ceiyed for the entire $500, O00 worth. and
two for parts Of the amount. No award
was made yesterday. The bids were as
follows:
Blake a3Ips CO., Boston, by II.

orSj0 O0e worth. $3.50 90
Cochran Rice * Walsh, St Paul,
one LOCO bond. .............. los7 %
In each case the amount Of interest which
RccTues from May ] 10 July /, making
SI,666. So. is added The premium offered
by Blake Bros. thus amounts 10 SL4.034
which makes a rate of :, Is per cent. The
premium offered by Newport q Peat is SD
S43. "a or 6.I7 per cent. In the case Of both
the above bidders the rate per cent. is
higher than has ever before been offered for
st. Paul bonds. The highest per cent Of
fered was the bid OF Cochran, Rice Il
Walsh, being about per cent.
I'm presenting their bids, however, Blake
Bros have questioned the legality Of the is
sue of bonds, and hence accompanied their
bids with a number Of conditions Brewster
Cobb & EstabroolSs also bid on the bonds
conditionally. The question raised by
Blake Bros. is whether OF not the act of
legislature authorizing the issue of bonds is
legal, since the question was not submitted
TO the voice of the people. According 10
the state law such a course is
necessary. In the present case, how
ever, the matter is different. In 1881
m act passed authorizing the issue Of 4
per cent. bonds. redeemable in twenty wears
for the purpose for which the present bonds
are issued. The question was then submit
ted to a popular vote and approved. AT
the last session of the Legislature the act
was revised anG amended. changing the
rate 10 per cent and the time 10 thirty
years. II has not been since submitted 10
the people. 1t Is claimed by the city attor-
ney and other legal gentlemen that a sec
ond submission of the question to the peO-
pie is not required in the case of any
amended law. AS proof the case Of the
Lake Superior railroad is given. 1t was a
precisely parallel case. Except in that in
stance the bonds were for bonus and in
the present case are for an equivalent The
question WAS then raised in the courls, and
ii was decided that an amended law did not
require 10 be again submitted TO the people.
