White & Co.. the New York brokers
who purchased the city loan of $4,000
and then lay down on their purchase,
have not bettered their cause by the
letter which they sent to City Treas
urer Hamann on Saturday. When their
agent put in bid for the bonds he
must have known that they were reg
istered securities and not those OF the
coupon sort. Brokers and their agents
are not usually so careless as to LET
such a feature as that escape them.
Not that alone, but it is a fact known
to all that registered bonds are prefer
able to coupon bonds, because of the
safeguards which registration throws
around the money SO invested. But
casting all this aside. the city is not re-
sponsible for the ignorance, stupidity
or carelessness Of White & Co. or It's
agents, and City Council should insist
that the sale stand, and that the
brokers perform their part Of the con
tract. Public interest demands that thil
be done, for, If it is not, we may ex
perience the same trouble in futur'
sales Of city bonds, acquiescenoe in thi
case giving encouragement to broker
