|R0LPH FIGHTING
1915 BOND SALE
Mayor, Joining Protest, Says
Below Par Deal Menaces
City Securities

Mayor Rolph is supporting the su-
pervisors' finance committee In its
fight against the sale OF s3.00o.000 of
municipal exposition bonds by the
Panama Pacific Exposition company.
The mayor agrees with Chairman
Jennings of the finance committee
that the understanding entered into
last May that the bonds were not to
be placed on the market for a year
should be adhered to by the fair di-
rectors.
Mayor Rolph took the matter UP
with r. B. Hale of the exposition this
morning. 1t is probable that a joint
conference between the finance COM
mittee and the executive council OF
the exposition will be held today or
tomorrow.
The negotiations said to be in prog
ress between the exposition and N. w.
Halsey & Co. for the sale of the bonds
at 81 are looked upon by the mayor
as detrimental to the standing Of city
securities. since this would mean the
sale of the exposition block below
par. 1t is also pointed out that this
transaction would net the brokers a
possible commission of 100000, and
he'city officials feel that the cutting
of this big melon will occasion some
criticism.
