purposes there was GohHitl ', ~
that the Issuance of these bonds We're
contingent upon the bonding llmIt OF
the city being raised from two 10 three
per cent. The reason for TINS cohdi
lion. as Won are well aware. was the
VERY narrow margin then existing Tor
bonding purposes rms ohuilpii'
owing 10 the recent supreme Court &c
cision no longer exists. The archltecl
plans for the auditorium are now near
ing completion and within very SNORT
time the auditorium so much needed
