Many Inquiries About Bonds.
In response to an advertisement being
printed in The Omaha Bee asking for bids
for the Missouri avenue bonds. the city
clerk has more than a dozen requests
from bond buyers asking details. These
bonds are to be offered for sale at the
council meeting to be held August IA, and
the highest bidder will certainly get the
securities. From the present outlook there
does not seem to be anything in the way
OF the city selling this issue OF bonds,
which amounts to $4,000. These bonds are
considered excellent, and probably more
than dozen bidders viii be present in
person or by proxy.
