Bond Attorneys Declare the City Cannot Anticipate
 S300,0OO Deficit
TO SELL THE ISSUE
 ABOUT SEPTEMBER 30
Comptroller Abbott Leaves With Proof of City's Financial Con dition-The Commission
 Meets Tomorrow

| It has been officially concluded by the commissioners that the proceeds ot the bond issue will be $l,ooo,000 in- stead of s1,soo,o0O. The item of ssoo.- 900 is to be taken from the issue by reason of a ruling of New York bond attorneys that the city cannot antici- pate deficit tota1ing that amount. This was the statement of President Culpepper Exum yesterday. He added that Comptroller Charles Abbott left last night for New York, where he will complete the final details looking to closing ups the bond situation. As requested by the New York attorneys, Mr. Abbott carried with him certifi- cates of all items charged in the bond issue showing that the city will face an actual deficit of $1,00o,O00 Septem- Der 30, which will end the fiscal year. To that extent the city may go with out any question. MT. Abbott Is em- powered with authority to certify the correctness of the accounts and It Is believed that every feature of the prop osition will be handled with dispatch from this time until the last detail Is settled.
 It Is announced that the commission is of the opinion that the bond ques- tion will be finally closed up Septem- Der 30
 Commissioners Meet Tomorrow
 The regular weekly meeting of the commission will take place tomorrow, beginning at 10 o'clock. All the com mlssioners will attend The approval of all financial transactions are held up until Tuesday by law and at the meeting tomorrow there may be some matters of that character transacted.
 The commissioners have been during the past few days looking cautiously after the bond issue situation. Now that the proposition is nearing the climax and as they feel sanguine about it, they will be enabled to get down to the other questions that face them. Some questions of a routine nature will be straightened out while some other pending matters of great importance may be taken up.
 The telephone inquiry as elsewhere not ed, may be handled if negotiations prog ress sufficiently. However it is a sure shot that the telephone matter will be settled this week. The commissioners have as yet remained undecided about the gas holders in Ensey and Woodlawn. As generally understood thate work is very imperative and is still held up. It is possible that some action may be taken in that respect soon. However no inti- nation has been given as to when the two gas tank propositions will be set tied.
 Judge Lane Ill
 It will be a source of intense regret to the countless friends of Commissioner A. 0. Lane to learn of his indisposition. Saturday and yesterday he remained closely at home. While Judge Lane Is not confined to his bed his condition is such as to cause his friends some slight apprehension It is possible that he will accede to numerous solicitations of his friends and take short vacation at some quiet place soon
