NEW ULM CITY BONDS
Strong Statement From President
and Members of Council.
To the Editor Of the Journal

To the Editor of the Journal
In L he j ou al Of Thursday, March
8, 1902, there appeared a special comraunfca-
ton relating to the issue of city bonds for
the construction Of municipal electric light
ing plant. To persons acquainted with the
facts and situation, the article appears to be
studlous endeavor to cast, by series
OF falsehoods, a cloud on the good name and
financial reputation ct this city
That part OF the article which sets forth
that the state would not buy the bonds of the
city, because the amount exceeded the limit
OF Indebtedness to which the city might bond
itself, is absolutely false. 1t is also false
and untrue that the bonds authorized to be
issued by practically unanimous vote Of the
people of this city are illegal. This city will
be able to float its $4,000 In electric light
bonds without offering dollar thereof to the
state Of Minnesota. It is also false and
untrue that the city council is cup against a
hard proposition in it's endeavor to float
the light bonds, or that it will have to ask
for another bond issue before a municipal
| electric lighting plant is installed. 1t is also
false and untrue that the local electric light
company offered to sell it's plant to the city
at its own figure. It is also false and I'M
true that the plant will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000, or that the city council turned
Its hopes to an amendment OF the constitu-
ton to let it out under a higher limit of in
ueDteoneSs Inc Undersigned deem 1t but fair
and just to the public and financial world to
make these corrections and desire that you
publish the same, with the request that your
exchanges which may have copied the original
one, publish this explanation.
1t is true that the present bonded indebted
ness of this city is $4,000, but we point with
pride to the various public improvements in
this city, its graded streets sewer system and
waterworks plant, the latter costing over
$4,000 alone They are very few cities, If
any, having a population OF nearly 5000 in
habitants like ours, which can show such a
small bonded Indebtedness in proportion to
the public improvements enjoyed by it's in
habitants.
The writer Of your article is either totally
| ignorant Of the circumstances and facts in
this case, or he has wilfully misrepresented
the situation of affairs.

enumeration was made in 1900, and
the new apportionment Hereunder
was provided for in an act passed by
the last Congress.
While the Republicans assert that
Congress can proceed with an invest
igation of suffrage conditions, it is
considered an open question whether
any action can be taken before the
next census. To be made in 1910. which
contemplates new enumeration and
apportionment. In several states
where the question has arisen in con-
nection with the apportionment of
Legislative districts, the courts have
decided that an enumeration and ap-
portionment provided for at stated
times by the State Constitution can
not be taken at intervening periods.
How far this provision of the Con-
stitution conflicts with the fourteenth
amendment, which provides for a re-
'duction of representation to cores
pond with the denial or abridgment
of the right of suffrage, is a question
which has not ueen decided.
1t is apparent. however, that the sit
uation which the Republican leaders
ha created. is one fraught with many
serious problems, more farreaching
and troublesome than has been ap-
preciated by those who have hastily
given countenanCe to the proposed in
vestigation.
