The Finance Department began adver-
tising yesterday for bids for s4o.OOO.oO0 OF
city bonds. $s5. 900 Of the issue to be
fifty year stock and the remainder ten year
assessment bonds. Both classes will carry
interest at the new rate Of AZ per cent.
The bids will be opened on September 10.
When the announcement was made that
the city would try to sell sac. .0CO,O 600 OF stock
in one lump. despite tho failure of the last
two salee, some perplexity was felt in City
Hall circles as to the reasons which led
acting Comptroller MoCooey to feel iusti-'
fed in advertising for bids for the largest
output OF bonds the city has ever made at
one time.
Later In the day the question seemed Co
be answered by news which drifted up from
Wall Street to the City Hall To the effect
that q syndicate would take up the issue.
Mr.. McCooey declined to answer questions
bearing on the matter. II was one he ex-
plained that he could not with propriety

they yield about 4.27 per cent. In order
to yield the same amount as this the new

In announcing the sale Mr.. McCooey
issued this statement: After careful CON-

authorized by the Commissioners OF the
