WORLDS FAIR IS PUSHED IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY.
Continued from Page One.

'The Mayor insisted that the ordinance

realized from the sale of the bonds in ex-
cess Of the par value, should be paid into
the city treasury. 1 assert that II the or
dinance contained any such provision.
either as to the provision or interest 1t
would be UNCONSTITUTIONAL, and prevent the
sale Of the bonds. for the following rea-
son:
''The only authority which the city has
to issue these bonds is the constitutional
amendment adopted last fall, which author
ICES the city to issue 100000 of bonds at
and pay the proceeds thereof to the World $
Fair management Now. il the ordinance
showed that any part of said proceeds were
to be used for any other purpose. however
worthy, the city would be acting beyond
its authority, and its act would be void.
If this were not so. what would pre-
vent the city from making the bonds bear
4 per cent. make IL certain that a premium
would be realized. and thus obtain indi-
rectly what II cannot obtain directly?
The Mayors third point is, that the In
terest on the proceeds of the bonds, from
the time received to the time when the
money is required. should go to the city.
THE answer to this Is. that the canstitu-
tional amendment does not so provide. and
If the ordinance contained such a provi-
sion it would be void.
Besides this. there Is no necessity for
selling the bonds now, for. IL the money
will not be needed for a year. the bonds
need not be sold before then, anc the
coupons that have then become due may
be detached.
"But be that as it may. II is perfectly
clear that any attempt to use the proceeds
of the bonds, premium or interest accruing
on the proceeds, otherwise than for the
Worlds Fair, Is confidence game played
on the people who voted for the amend
ment even II the use to which the money
Is put is as worthy as the building Of a
City Hospital"
