The Committee Issues its State
ments.
An Agreed Suit to Be Filed BY Mr..
Stanley Dubois at
Once.
WILL ENHANCE THE BONDS

A definite course has been outlined
in regard to the bond issue authorized
at the recent election, and 1t has been
decided that Mr.. Stanley Dubois, pres
ident of the Commercial club and one
Of the best known and most popular
citizens, will bring an agreed suit for
the purpose of having the courts pass
on the validity of the bonds, and there
by enhance their value. This ia the
only reason the suit is to be brought,
and the only reason Mr.. Dubois is to
allow the use of his name in the &C
ton. 1t is simply to have the courts
pass on the bond issue and say they
are perfectly legal, which the people
already know to reasonable certain
ty, but which bond purchasers may
not be copyinoed Of without decision
from the court.
Mr.. Dubois stated this morning that
he would like for everybody to under
stand this, as he only consented 10
have the suit brought in his name ut
the request of city officials and promi-
nent citizens interested in the bonds,
ana the improvements to be made
with them, and that he is certain it
will enhance the value of the bonds
when they are placed on the market.
A meeting Of the committee ap-
pointed recently by the local boards to
take MP the matter, was held yester-
day. On it are Messrs. James Utter
back. Cook Husbands and Councilmen
Hummel and Alderman Singleton.
The attorneys for the city today IL.
sued the following:
"A number of representative citi-
zens and taxpayers have held meet
ing at which the subject of the issu-
ance of street, market house and hos
pitsl bonds recently voted was fsily
discussed
"In order to protect the interests of
parties concerned, and to satisfy pros
pective purchasers as to the validity
of the bonds it was decided that an in
junction suit should be instituted and
the case carried to the court Of appeals
without delay.
1.-The SUIT will be brought by NIL.
S. Dubois, who Is q we'll known citi-
zen and also greatly interested in the
progress and advancement of the city.
Mr.. Dubois was selected by the citi-
zens to act as their representative in
the matter and the suit will be brought
in his name because it is necessary to
have some person to act as plaintiff in
such cases.
at is the universal custom in oil
Kentucky cities to have test suit
brought in which the legality of the
bond issues be fully investigated and
the validity Of the bonds established,
before the city attempts to sell them.
This was lately done in both Lexing-
ton and Louisville.
1.-THE suit will be prepared and nled
so as to be heard AZ the December
term of court and carried immediately
to the court of appeals, where it il
thought q decision can be obtained
either in January or February, thus
permitting work to be begun on the
new streets early in the spring provid-
ing the court holds that the bonds arc

Now Mr. Smith directs his microscopic critical fac

Mr. Smith finds that Proctor refused to permit
variation of cvservice rules in order that the wife

that Proctor frequently sought evade the rules in
