"HoLDING UP" OF BOND ISSUES MENACE TO
CITYs CREDIT. HE SAYS.

"HoLDING UP" OF BOND ISSUES A MENACE TO
CITY's CREDIT. HE SAYS.
Controller Coler has declared that IL the Munich
pal Assembly continues TO hold up bond issues
needed for public improvements much longer he
will appeal the Governor to call an extraordinary
session of the Legislature for the purpose of hav-
ing the powers of the Municipal Assembly curtailed
The refusal of the Municipal Assembly 10 authorize
the Issue of s0O0OO in bonds to pay for the needed
repaving of streets Is OF the scandals Of which
the Controller complains. The Brooklyn and
Queens members Of the Council Committee on Bor-
ough Affairs refused 10 vote for the resolution to
approve the bond ISSUE because. they declared,
their boroughs had not received fair share OF the
money. The Brooklyn Aldermen have refused to
authorize a bond issue of $4,000 TO pay for the
plant Of the Long Island Water Company which
the city authorities agreed TO purchase. The same
Aldermen also refused 10 authorize bond issue OF
S2VO 900 for the acquisition Of more land in the
Croton watershed.
Politicians have said that while the Governor
might not be willing to call special session of the
Legislature at the request OF the Controller such
q request might lead to legislation at the next
regular session Of the Legislature TO amend the
citys charter and take away from the Municipal
public improvements There has been some talk
Of legislation to abolish the Council and decrease
the powers OF the Board of Aldermen, and such
legislation might be passed II II recommended
by high Democratic official like Controller Coler
The Controller said yesterday that If the bond is
sues were held back by the Municipal Assembly
a few weeks longer he might appeal TO the Gov
The situation at present is intolerable. While
the Municipal Assembly Is quarrelling and holding
up bond issues, public improvements have come to
a Standstlil and persons to whom the city are IN
debted are clamOring for their money IL this thing
goes on lhe credit or the city will be affected"
