TEN DOLLAR CITY BONDS.
OLD PROVISION REVIVED BY con-
TROLLER CIRCUIT IN HIS FIRST
STOCK ISSUE.

In advertising the new Administrations first
sale of 316 per cent corporate stock Controller
Grout has taken advantage of old provision
of the charter. which he believes Will inure
greatly to the benefit of the city. He says that
II advantage had been taken of this provision of
the charter at the big bond sale in August, 1898,
when the city sold $12,6SS 992 SO Of corporate
stock the city might have saved $4,000. The
charter provision to which the Controller calls
special attention is follows:
Sixth-It is required by the charter OF the city
that every bidder may be required to accept &
portion of the whole amount of stock bid for by
him at the same rate or proportional price as may
be specified in his bd and any bid which conflicts
with this condition shall be rejected" Under this
provision the condition that the bidder will accept
not any part thereof cannot be inserted In any bid
Seventh-It is also provided by the charter that
these bonds, being registered may be issued IN de-
nominations of SO or any multiple thereof and that
preference shall, so far practicable. and with
out pecuniary disadvantage 10 the city, be given
to applicants for the smallest amounts and smallest
denomina tions of said bonds in issuing the same.
Three millions of dollars of 31a per cent. stock
will be advertised on Tuesday next. Sealed pro-
posals will be received by the Controller until
Tuesday. February 1S. OF the entire issue
S2,5OO,OO0 is for the construction of the rapid
transit tunnel and the principal will be pay
able in 1851. The other S5OO.000 is for the new
public library, and will mature in 1912.
At the bond sale OF August s. 1895, for
S12,6SS.992 80. the aggregate of valid bids at
prices in excess of the price, 104e4, at which
said bonds were awarded to the Produce Ex-

Scott had power OF attorney from Lane. which
permitted him to deposit with the Bank OF the
Metropolis and to draw checks against the amount
deposited. In July and August of last year Mr..
Lane had Scotts books examined, and as a con-
sequence had the power of attorney modified so
that checks made the bank and signed by Scott
had to be countersigned by Ernest A. Comba After
that time it is alleged, Scott paid bin he owed

There is not the slightest desire on the part

thing which might be construed as 'sensa-

large number OF favorable bids invariably Of
Tered for certain amounts of stock whenever
the city advertises it's bond issues prompts the
belief that 1t is fair and just TO take advantage
OF these smaller offers whenever possible. The
provision in the city charter which says that
preference shall. so far practicable, be given
to intending purchasers OF bonds of small de-
nominations will, if acted on, make extra work
and expense for the Finance Department, mas
much as it costs about 90 cents to print each
bond This would largely increase the cost of
printing the bonds. and the labor incident to
taking care of them afterward would also be
increased. The law is there. however, and it is
