adopted by the twenty-first legisla
ture at its recent session, authorized
the issuance of bonds by the city t
the amount of $4,000 yearly for the
purpose of constr ucting sidewalks

and to sell the same, the bonds to b,
for the amount Of not less than 500
each.

submitted to the taxpayers for a vOt
in conformity with the charter
Lockwood took issue with this vieJ
asserting that the bonds would be a
legal as any ever issued by the city
Wulff thought that the bonds Nigh
seem to themselves legal but tn
question was would the bidders cor
slider them so? Reimann wanted th
city attorneys opinion.
The city attorney said i'm respOns
