BIG BID FOR BONDS
WILL BE. ACCEPTED
Approval of the Halsey Offer
Is Recommended

The bid of $6,065, $50 upon s5,400, 900
worth of municipal bonds, submitted by
Halsey, Speyer and the National City
bank of New York, was yesterday rec
commended by the supervisors public
utilities committee and undoubtedly
will be accepted by the board Monday.
Judge Sturtevants dismissal of the re-
straining order asked against the sale
of the garbage plant issue removed any
legal impediment, and little opposition
upon the part of losing bidders devel-
oped yesterday.
Rollins & Harris, whose bid of
$6,024,240 was second only to the sue
cessful offer, made no opposition to the
grant, and the objection of Joseph b.
Toplitz. who claimed his bid upon $2O,-
900 worth of the bonds was high, was
not pressed upon the assurance of
Agent A. T. Block that he would be
cared for by Halsey.
The $665,820 premium which will be
received of Halsey, the s234,500 received
last fall on the first sale and the s1.15O,-
600 premium which may confidently
be expected to accrue in the sale of
the remaining $9,520,000 worth of bonds
has raised an interesting query The
municipal authorities consulted the
charter yesterday as to the disposition
of this found money, and it was
specific. The sum in excess of s.. 2.O0O.-
GOO, past present and to come, which
the city credit will induce in the bond
sale must be expended along the lines
laid down in the bond authorizations,
and upon the completion of these ends.
as the construction of school houses.
etc, any remainder over $4,000 must be
devoted to the sinking fund for the
bonds.
The supervisors have decided to de-
liver the bonds at the rate of about
$1,000,000 worth a month. and Brock.
Halsey's agent, agreed to this arrange-
ment yesterday, the object being, to
save the payment of unnecessary inter
est by receiving the money only shortly
in advance of need.
The hospital committee, having satis-
fed the protestants represented bv At
torney John S. Partridge that the citv's
interests would be best served by the
purchase of the crematory for s4OO ono
formally recommended Yesterday the
closing of the agreement, and this ac-
tion probably will be confirmed bv the
board Monday.

Sturtevant Dismisses Writ

Short shrift was given Thomas T.
Flynn when he appeared before Judge
Sturtevant yesterday and asked to have
made permanent the temporary writ is
sued Monday by Judge Cabaniss pre-
venting the board of supervisors from
accepting bids for s64O,OO0 worth of
bonds for the purchase of a garbage
destructor. The writ of prohibition
was dissolved and the judge also re-
fused to issue a temporary Injunction
asked for by E. B. Holiday. Flynn's
attorney, on. a new complaint filed yes
terday. George Lull, assistant city At
torney, filed demurrer to the affi-
davit on which Judge Cabaniss issued
the writ of prohibition, and Judge
Sturtevant sustained the demurrer.
IF you want a restraining order Won
must show me why it should be grant
ed said Judge Sturtevant to HolIadav.
Have you any authorities on the points
involved here?''
No. have not; but L could get
some.' answered Holiday.
THAT won't do" said the Judge. The
supervisors are public officers sworn
not to expend public money unlawfully.
Every presumption is that they will
perform their official duty. 1t is not
for the court to presume that they will
not. I do not know of any reason for
either a writ of prohibition or a re-
straining order in this case. l do not
believe Judge Cabaniss would have is
sued a writ had he known all the
facts
Holiday went on to argue that the
board of supervisors had failed to Sc
cure an estimate of the cost of con-
struction of the garbage works. as the
charter required, and said that the in
validity of the bond issue was so ap-
parent that the court should not per-
nit their sale.
Attorney LulL showed that the bonds
were issued for the acquisition or con-
struction' for the garbage destructor.
and not for their original construc-
tion,v as Holiday had set up.
Holiday seemed nonplused by the
quick decision of the court. He said he
would prepare amended pleadings.

Fels-Naptha lops it all off, takes it
out of your washday program.
Fels-Naptha itself does all the work
that you yourself would have to do in the
roundabout way, summer or winter.
And it does it in cool or lukewarm
water, without hot fire, without nauSeous
suds or steam In the house, without hard
rubbing.
Have ron the will to cut loose from
the old ways-to free yourself from this
drudgery7
