5The city fathers are in deep trouble
over the six l,0o0 school house bond,
which they issued lately, and which
|were refused registration by Comp
.'troller Swain. The Comptroller's rea
sons tor not registering them, are, that
the bonds do not recite the articles OF
tho Revised Statutes under which
they are issued; that tho articles OF
Bald statutes cited In the bonds do
( not authorize issuance OF bonds by
cities and towns, and that the law
does not authorize tho issuance of auy
School house bonds. The opposition
ITO paying the school tax at all is very
Hstrong and has been made much
