LONG ISLAND CITY BONDS VALID.
AN OPINION BY THE CORPORATION COUN-
Sell REGARDING THE a,2550Oo
IMPROVEMENT ISSUE.

AN OPINION BY THE CORPORATION COUN-
Sell REGARDING THE a,&5OOo
IMPROVEMENT ISSUE.
CORPORATION Counsel Whalen has warded TO the
Controller an opinion to the general improve
ment bonds OF Long Island City. Of which 81 900
were issued. The opinion fifty typewriter
pages, and goes with great minuteness into the
numerous and complicated questions that have
been raised as TO the validity OF the bonds. Under
authority Of Chapter GA Of the Laws OF 1893 Long
Island City entered upon an extensive plan Of i'm
proving its streets by regulating and grading, paw
ing and sewerng them. The contracts for the
Broadway trunk sewers alone. which were made
with John c. Sheehan. called for the expenditure
Of nearly 10000 Some Of the other contracts
were made with John O'Brien. The bonds for these
improvements and expenses amounted to 81 $500
and they were in form bonds Of Long Island CITY
but by virtue Of consolidation and under the opn-
ion of the Corporation Counsel. they have become
valid obligations of tho city OF Network.
The principal points OF the opinion are:
First-That the act creating the General I'm
provement Commission of Long Island City Is con-
stitutional . ,
Secondhand the bondholders are not compelled
ment for the payment OF their bonds but could
originally have looked directly TO Long Island CITY
Third-That. although Long Island City AT the
time OF consolidation indebted more than 10
per cent Of the assessed valuation OF Its real estate
subject to taxation. yet as the city became obli-
