AS he spoke Mrs. Arkwright shook
up the pillows hastily, and went TO a
side table for a glass.
"WelI. If you will not. then there's
an end of it, but you will grant me an
other favor which may be harder"
and for a minute Arkwright seemed to
hesitate.

And as Mrs. Arkwright stopped to give

that her cheeks we're burning.

GOVERNOR HAS SIGNED 1T
Bill Validating Bonds Issued Under the
Act Of 1895 Becomes a Law.
Why II Was Passed.

In 1895 the legislature passed bill
so modifying the municipal indebted
ness act that two per cent. of the as
sessed valuation instead of seven per
cent, as before, was fixed as the max
imum limit of Indebtedness that might
be incurred.
This change was effected through
what is alleged to have been a clerical
mistake--thc omission of one particu-
lar line changing the entire sense of
the measure. An amendment is now
before the governor which Will rec
tify the alleged mistake or at all
events put the maximum back to its
original figure, seven per cent.
Many boroughs and school districts
throughout the state-fifteen IL is said
construed the modified act to read
that the indebtiness could not be in
creased more than two per cent. at a
time; that is that the Indebtedness
might be increased at the will OF the
electors two per cent. or any fraction
thereof at a time, but at no time should
the debt exceed seven per cent. OF
the property valuation.
While this might have been the spirit
OF the act, and it is generally con-
ceded ii would not be a bad provision
at all it was not the letter of the law
and as q consequence the municipalities
which misconstrued the meaning Of
| the act found themselves in a sorry
predicament. Some had improvements
| under way and bonds disposed of.
| These bonds We're of the course invali-
| dated and the holders were without Sc
curaty for the money advanced on
| them.
Representatives from the various af-
| fected sections, the local legislators
among them, framed and secured the
| passage of an act validating such is
sue of bonds. The measure passed the
| senate Monday night and yesterday
| Senator Vaughan telegraphed Hon. G.
Z. O'Malley, attorney for Olyphant
| borough, one of the affected municipal
tiles, that Governor Hastings had
| signed the bill
ELEPHANTS bonds were not directly
affected by the 2 per cent difficulty,
| although the act passed yesterday
| would remove all question of invalid
ity. These particular bonds We're made

preme court, told of in The Tribune OF
