dent of the company, said that while
no definite arrangement had been
made with Wood. If he came to Will
mington that he would see that the
aviator had something to carry.

were not interested in tn scheme and
since then have received no further
word from Wood, Colonel Buckner
told the reporter that if Wood landed

ed powder to carry to League Island

II was learned today that City So
licitor Daniel o. Hastings and w. =.

Of ordinance as drawn by the former
providing for the issuance Of bonds
to the amount of 100000. represent
ing the city's share Of the cost Of
the joint city and county bunlding.
This opinion was received from Haw-
kins, Delafeld and Longfellow, q
prominent law firm in New York city,
accredited as authority on bond mat
ters throughout the country.
Bond buyers. before purchasing
bonds apply TO such firms as The one
mentioned for an opinion as to the
legality of the bond issue they bid
on. Taking this into consideration
the finance committee OF Council
came to the decision that it would be
a good move to get an opinion on the
/ legality Of the ordinance before bids
were asked. 1t was thought that by
/ doing this, better prices might be OBJ
4 tained, for the bonds. and further, il
was a move to try to overcome re-
ceiving low bids such as have been
received within recent time in other
localities for municipal bonds.
By saving the bond buyer the cost
of getting a legal opinion on the
validity of the ordinance and bonds
the Council committee thought thai
by already having such an opinion
bond buyers would be more apt tC
bid and made better offers for tn,
bonds that If put 10 the expense O
