Action of tho School Board Generally
Condemncd-3ocial Events.
PASADENA, July 26-The action OF the
school truatsos yesterday in ordering a
.ew election to bs held for another
issue OF bonds, rs exclusively reported
in this mornings HERALD. was the sub
ject OF much discussion among the legal
profession today. The general tenor OF
the opinion from the legal profession is
in line with the position taken by the
HERALD on this subjsct. namely, that
come action should have been taken to
have the courts settle the question as to
the legality OF the district before pro-
oeeding with another issue OF bonds.
The action of the board yesterday after
noon in starting proceedings for the
issuance of bonds, which will in all
probability be as unsaleable ns the pres
ont issue. can be regarded in no other
light than a huge blunder. which, COM
ing on top of the previous mistakes.
finds the public in bad humor to re-
ceive. The loading financial institu-
tions have, previous TO any action being
taken for a new issue, stated that they
will decline to purchase until the mat
ter ie settled in the courts. In the face
of this and the opinion OF numerous
competent lawyers that the present dis
trict ie illegal, the action OF the board
In going ahead with the bond issue
seems unwiae in the highest degree, and
can only result in unnecessary delay and
expense.
