Water Bonds Block
Sale of Other Bonds
Eastern Bond Buyers Ask Concern
ing Status of the Water
Bond Issue.

The plan OF the Omaha Water board to
vote bonds in the sum of IS 900 to take
over the water plant and make needed i'm
provements is Gripping the sale of the
school bonds, according to J. +, Burgess,
secretary of the Board of Education
Foreign bonding houses and banks are
interested in the scheme, says Burgess,
and have requested information as to what
the city intends to do in the water litiga-
ton. The uncertainty OF the deal makes
the bond houses skeptical and for that
reason Burgess declares that the present
issue of $375OO0, bids for which will be
opened Monday afternoon, will not bring
the premiums that the former issue did.
Mr.. Burgess received a telegram from
Well, Roth & Co. of Cincinnati saturday
morning asking as to the proposed issue
Of bonds for water purposes.
The Cincinnati capitalists desired to know
the amount of the issue, when 1t would
likely be voted and the disposition OF the
former issue, which was authorized for the
purpose Of liquidating the claims Of the
water company.
Mr.. Burgess says that a Chicago capital
list raised the same question recently and
declared that the agitation would certainly
tend to force the bids on the school bonds
down.
