without a faint Attaching Through
the Recount Others Take the
Opposite View.

Opinion III financial circles is divided
as to whether the recount of the refund
election votes by the special council
committee appointed last Tuesday, will
(En the event that the refund is discov-
cred to have carried by the required
majority attach to the proposed loan a
faint that would cause capital to hesi-
tate or decline to invest.
The issue was brought prominently
before the public through the interview
with Councilman John K. List, OF the
First ward, printed in yesterdays In
tellIgencer. Mr.. List feared capital
would not invest in the bonds, II the
recount declares the loan to have been
authorized at last Saturdays election.
He added that the better way was to
hold another election. and he believed
the people would then endorse the re-
fund by a good majority. and every
thing would be straight and regular.
Assistant Cashier Frank ESlieves, Of
the Dollar bank, when seen yesterday
