Proposed to Turn Them Over to
Trust Company.
NO OFFER CONSIDERED
Believed That Local Bidders
Would Give More.
Proposition Is to Dispose of
Them at Par.

Why should the $4,000 worth Of
Topeka improvement bonds be sold
tonight without giving the people a
chance to bid on them.
1t is proposed to turn these bonds
over to the Prudential Trust company
to be sold at par. 1t is possible that
the city can get more than par for
city are willing to buy them and will
offer premium they should be given
an opportunity of doing SO. The city
does not propose to open a popular
subscription-it proposes to turn these
bonds over to a trust company and
the investors would have to go to the
trust company to buy them. 1t is pre-
sumed that the trust company Will get
a rake off which would give the deal
a queer look.
A Topeka investor said today that
he would make an offer of a premium
for the bonds and if he is willing to
do this why should he not have an
opportunity to bid. The city would
profit by the amount of premium and
the taxpayers would have to pay sim
ply the four and half per cent in
terest and no more.
There is no use to make a close
corporation of the sale of Topeka
bonds. If the city is going 70 turn the
bonds over to a trust company the
bidding ought to be open and above
board
