Several City Appointments
Made and A. G. Fay Re-
jected as Grand Juror

Two bids on the $4,000 four per cent
school bonds which the city is offering
| for sale were opened and read at a spe-
cial session of the city council last night
and laid on the table. Until some def
mite action is taken on the disposal Of
the bonds, the figures made BY two brok-
ers >who submitted bids will probably
not be announced. When the councillors
came together it was expected that more
than two bids would be available for
comparison. There was a difference Of
only seventy one-hundredths of point
in the two offers and both were below
the figure which the council had hoped
TO realize.
Neither bid was finally rejected. al
though a second special meeting of the
council tonight may develop new condi-
tions, it is said. II is likely that an
I other call for bids viii be issued and to
make this action possible the Lamoille
County Savings Bank & Trust Co. Of
Hyde Park viii probably be asked to ex-
tend the time on notes for $4,000 due

time for floating the issue was undoubt-
edly chosen, inasmuch as bond patrons
who might be expected to purchase se-
curities exempt from taxation in Yer
mont would prefer to invest in school.
