HOLD Up
DUCT BONDS
LEGALITY OF BOND ISSUE
MUST co TO THE SU-
PREME COURT

Advice was received this morning
by the City Attorney D. NJ Tibbetts,
from the attorney general to the eff
feet that he was not willing to as
sumo the responsibility of approving
the viaduct bona issue, but offering
to submit the question involved to
the supreme court upon an agreed
statement of facts
1t develops upon inquiry that the
attorney general does not find
fault with the proceedings taken,
but that someone opposed to the
issue has made representations to
him to the effect that the money is
to be used for purposes not author
lied by law and the decisions of the
court, and tor this reason he desires
an order from the court, saying that
it Will probably be possible to Sc
;ure a decision within the next two
weeks if action is taken at once, as
suggested, upon an agreed statem9t
The city attorney announces that
this course will probably be adopt
ed and the proceedings pressed to
at the earliest possible
late. 2tIHslH
