BOND PROBLEM.
Who Wants Jersey City
Temporary Loan Bonds
at Three and One
half Per Cent.
LOCAL BANKS ASK ! FOUR
Financiers Discuss Methods
By Which Economy in
Interest May Be
Effected.

The Finance Commissioners had a
knotty problem TO solve at a meeting
held today. Briefly 1t was this:-Who
will take up good, sound, gilt edged,
Jersey City temporary loan bonds at S5a
per cent. since the local banks and Sink
ing Fund Comm ss4oners refuse, in the
than 4 per cent?
With the single eye towards economy
for the city, the Commissioners determ-
ined that they would, possibly, secure
the lowest rate of interest for accruing
bonds by making inquiries among capi-
talistic concerns
1T is this way" said one of the Com
missioners after the meeting, 1--WE have
s113,000 worth of temporary loan bonds
for joint outlet sewer coming due on
January l, and $3S000 of bonds for the
Little Italy Park, and other sums. The
Sinking Fund Commissioners have agreed
to take the $113,0O0 at 31a per cent, and
we think we can take care of the re-
mainder at the same figure These bonds
are not included in the tax levy. Our
wish is to secure, if possible, a low figure
for other bonds accruing in the future.
open market and pay at the then pre-
vailing rate. Now, If we can make ar
rangement by which we can get fixed
rate for these bonds coming due, it will
be saving to the city,
Another Commissioner said that tho
Board was eagerly watching the matur-
ing of the bonds and particularly those at
7 per cent. When these fall due they will
be promptly taken up either by the Sink
ing Fund Commissioners or by arrange
ment with local institutions by the Board
of Finance.
Think of it, he said, 1--WE are actually
paying $4,000 or more a year interest
when we might just as easily pay $35, cool
We have over s1,O00,0O0 of the per cent.
bonds out. There are many of them held
by savings banks who appreciate they
have good thing. Our Jersey City bonds
are held by corporation and people, 1
may safely say, in every capital in Eu-
rope. It is with regard to these out
standing bonds that we are endeavoring
to make provision. The banks are not to
blame for refusing to give US anything
than the prevailing rate, but still we think
we can do better than they offer.

SPRING ELECTIONS SNUB
General Sewell and State
Committee Discuss the
Bill, But Take No
Action.

With the aid of the Executive Commit
tee of the Republican State Committee,
General Sewell put quietus on the pro-
position of Major Lentz to have mea-
sure put through the Legislature merging
the municipal and county elections, so
that both would be he'd in the fall.
While the meeting of Sewell with the
committee did not result in any vote on
the question, the failure to have the
Lentz scheme endorsed is regarded as a
death blow, so far as any action at the
approaching sessions of the so.ons is CON
cerned.
The committee was behind closed doors
for nearly TWO hours, the meeting beng
held in Room No. 100 of the Trenton
rouse. Inere was full representation,
anu ana franklin Murphy presided. General
SeWell was present .'by invitat on
Some of the representatives from the
more DoDulous centres were in favor of
an endorsement of the Lentz scheme by
the committee and the passage of a reso-
luton recommending to the Legislature
that the scheme be enacted into law. This
however, was vigorously opposed by lIhe
rural representatives.
SO cleyerely was the opposition to the
Scheme manipulated that the committee
lnaily decided not even to take vote on
the matter. 1t will be remembered that
last year the Republican State Com mittee
by narrow margin passed a resolution
urging the passage of a similar PROPOSE
t1on. The failure of the executive COM
mlttee TO ratify The acllon of the STATE
Committee is regarded as a blow at
Lentz and his petty political moves.
After the conference yesterday Gen.
eral. Sewell disclaimed any intention on
the part of the committee. to usurp or
dictate to the legislators The question
was one of such Importance, he said, tilat
1t was deemed advisable to consider it
at meeting of the executive committee.

belief among politicians that the acton

STORY OF A SLAVE

To be bound hand and foot for
years by the chains of disease is
the worst form of slavery. Geo.
ID Williams, of Manchester, Mich.
tells how such a slave was made
free. He says: "My wife has
been SO helpless for five years
that she could not turn over in
bed alone. After using TWO bot
ties of Electric Bitters, she is
wonderfully improved and able
to do her own work" This SUI
preme remedy for female diseases
quickly cures nervousness, sleep
lessness, Melancholy, headache,
backache, falntingand dizzy spells.
This miracle working medicine is
a godsend to weak, sickly, run
down people. Every bottle guarau
teed. Only so cents. Sold by
