n the sale last Monday has lodged with Controller
color a nrotest against the acceptance OF the dds
n, any OF the three syndicates that want the pohds

my one OF them would be against the interests OF
the city
The three syndicates which bid were the Produce
Exchange Trust Company. Vermye Co ana
Kuhn Loeb ~ co. Blake Brothers q Co. and
Harvey Fisk & Sons The bids OF the two latter
were made on the condition that their counsel
approved the legality OF the issue, and this has
been referred TO the Corporation Counsel for an
orinon as to whether not the condition inval-
il,tes the bid II Is generally believed that these
bids will be rejected There Is then left the bid
OF the Produce Exchange Trust Company. which Is
1924 for the whole Of the Issue. The
aggregate amount OF the small bids Is for only
SO 10 1875 So but the premiums offered by the smaller
bidders amount s2i6.624 30 more than the bid OF
the Produce Exchange Trust Company.
Mr. Blumenthal told the Controller that he should
accept the small bids II IL would be necessary
to re advertise the remaining 100000. and Mr..
Coler Indicated that he might do that IL the syndi-
cate willing to take the remainder az their
price.
Mr. Bumenthals protest states that the award.
ing OF the bonds either of the syndicates would
defeat the objects and purposes or pubic sale
and result In the sacrifice OF several OF the bonds
