NO FURTHER LIGHT
 ON MYSTERY OF
 SERIAL NOTE BILLS

No further developments in the mys- tery of who tempered with the Bridgeport serial note bill were forth coming today.
 The Permanent Paving Commission has authorized. certain contracts for permanent pavement, which could only be paid for out of the proceeds of the notes.
 It was strongly hinted today that Senator Whitcomb, who declares the wrong bill came to Bridgeport, may enjofn signature to the contracts.
 The charter provides that no money shall be expended in excess of appro- pr1ations. except where bonds have been authorized.
 In this case no bonds have been auth o<ized by the Common Council and none by the state if the bill should prove to be the bill that actually pass ed the legislature.
 2 It is said that. the contractors may be reluctant to sign contracts, for the reason that there are many decisions which assert that a contract for the G16iture of money where it is for bidden that appropriations shall be exceeded, cannot be sustained.
 Financial men say that it will be exceedingly difficult to sell the serial tn own upon the authenticity of the legislation, and that no bank would be willing to take a chance until at least the supreme court had set it's seal on the issue.
