however the city council has been

cannot be sold for less than par How
ever, the most tender tyro in civic af,
fairs can readily conceive that no

OF bonds unless there be small

bidders were present. The results
were most gratifying since the offer

one, called for par and accrued in

bid, tne city council deemed it best
TO submit the proposal 10 postal

in view return cards have been mail
ed TO all those voters who cast a

While it is true s96.S46 has been
