OAKLAND, Sept 1.-THE opening of
bids for the $500, 600 worth of bonds
Of the Berkeley and Oakland School
Districts took place at 10 o'clock this
morning and brought out a large gath
ering Of financial men. For the SzSO,-
600 Oakland School District four per
cent bonds there were practically only
two bidders, the Hibernia Bank. which
bid a premium of Sl50T, and the Cen
tral Bank and Oakland Savings Bank,
which BID jointly al par and interest
The Central and Oakland banks re-
ceived all these bonds with the excep-
tion of $4,000 awarded to Anna Yule
at a premium Of $102l
The reason given out by the board
for throwing out the bid of the Hiber
MIA Bank al Sl507 premium and award
ing the bonds TO the local banks was
that the local banks did not impdfe
any condition regarding the legality of
the bonds. protesting themselves as
willing 10 take them up as issued by
the School District. while the Hibernia
Bank specified that regularity of the
proceedings should be subject to re-
view by its attorneys.
There was considerable objection
made before the board at the throw
ing away Of the s1507 premium on the
ground that the action savored Of ia
voritism toward the Oakland banks.
good faith OF the Hibernia Bank could
not be questioned, and that the bonds
would be taken up at the figure bid
for in case they were found to be
regularly issued.
For the Berkeley School District
