What the People are Saying.

What the People are Saying.
The anxiety of the city council to
pass an ordinance to issue $50, 900 re-
funding bond to replace the funding
bonds sold by Mayor Callaghan is ex-
citing the attention of the people.
This ordinance was put through
under the whip and spur of the ad-
ministration, notwithstanding the
inquiries and objections made by AL
dermen Beckmann and Hoefling.
1t seems that the bonds sold by
Mayor Callaghan were invalid, mas
much as there was no charter au-
thorization for the issue, and this de-
feet has been discovered by the hold
ers of the bonds, but the last amend
ments to the charter author
lied the issuance of refunding bonds
to take up accruing bonds, and I'M
der this amendment the attempt is
made to validate the transaction.
But the point is why the haste; why
put the ordinance through under sus.
pension of the rules, and by cutting oil
debate; there must be big bug under
the chip.
Alderman Hoefling very properly
stated the matter when he raised the
objection that is the bonds sold were
invalid they could not be made valid
by any act of the council.
Perhaps it is one of the desperst,
methods resorted to get an extended
credit at the bank. The incIden
only illustrates the reckless characiel
of the administration.
