COMPANY GIGS
BACK ON BUYING
LIBRARY BONDS
Finds Flaw in Election Authorix-
ing Issue and Declines to
Complete Purchase
READY TO TURN OVER
MONEY FOR OTHERS
Controller Expected Attack On
Sale Plan. But None Seems
Likely

Unless some taxpayer decides be.
fore next Monday to challenge the
method used by Controller George
Engel to dispose Of $4,411 900 worth
OF school. water board, library, sewer
and public building bonds, the con-
troller will be ready to deliver the
bonds to the purchaser which the
city paid the Peoples State bank .
bonus to find.
On account Of the necessity of
adopting some kind of a plan to CIR
|cumvent the charter provision limit
ing the interest rate on bonds to I
per cent. to dispose of the large issue
OF bonds, the controller and the cor
por&tion counsel, who approved OF
plan Of employing an agent to sell
the bonds, have been expecting some
taxpayer to enjoin the city from conn
pleting the sale. As yet not . single
objection to the manner of selling the
bends has been heard, and the attor.
|nCys for the bank and the bonding
company have announced their salts
faction concerning the legality OF the
transaction. At first the controller
made preparations to mandamus the
purchasers of the bonds II the issue
werc rejected. and thereby prove the
validity of the tranSaction. The Will
irgness OF the bond company to 80
|ccpt the city's paper made this pro
cedurx unnecessary.
Then the controller. to remove any
suaplct0n Uf doubt CONCERNING the
validity Of the bonds, sought 70 ~
. taxpayer to start proceedings to enr
tOin delivery OF the bonds on the
ground Of illegality. As far a. the
controller and the corporation counsel
Can learn everybody seems to be sat
is6ed with the validity Of the bonds
and the payment of the money, which
is badly needed by the city, will not
be held up by court proceedings.
The Chicago bonding company that
has arranged to purchase the bonds
Through the bank will not accept
$476, 900 worth of public library bonds
owing to the fact that In 1908 In pub
fishing the notice of the election. no
statement was made OF the amount
|of the bonds to be voted on. There
fore, II may be necessary to resubmit
the bond issue In another election to
insure legality. The city will be Civ.
len checks amounting to 1885 900, in
|cludiLg the 100000 for the water
board bonds.
The bank will draw approximately
10000 from the city and $4,000
from the water board for disposing
|of the bonds, but this money will be
turned over to the purchasers, this
plan bringing the interest rate up to
the market price on bonds.

VILLAGE MUST

Lawson Tells Council Committee
That Tentative Price is
Too Low
SHOULD BE $4,000,
RATHER THAN $500
City Will Figure on New Pro-
posal to be Made to Crosse
P0inte Park

Crosse Pointe Park village will not
be allowed to connect with the Jeffer.
son-ave. sewer unless the 600 inhabi-
tants In the village are willing to pay
the city something like $4,000 a year.
"A1l the villages surrounding De.
troit are In the same class; they want
all city conveniences, but they do not
want to pay for Them Corporation
Counsel Lawson told Louis Hilsende-
gen, president Of the village of Crosse
Pointe Park, when the latter presented
to the council committee on sewers.
Thursday morning. that such an
amount would be excessive and un.
reasonable.
IF Crosse P0inte Park wants to
connect with our sewer In Jefferson
ave., the village will have to pay the
price, continued the corporation c0un-
sci. 1.-THE trouble is that none of these
villages wants to come into the city,
and they are all getting ready to bat.
tie against the city when the time
comes"
A tentative agreement, based on the
ratio OF the village population to the
number OF people occupying the terri
tory drained by the sewer inside the
city limits. was very agreeable to Mr..
Hilsendcgen. The agreement had been
submitted to the corporation counsel.
the commission Of public works and
the city engineer. by the committee.
for Approval, Corporation Counsel
Lawson found that under the terms OF
tho proposed agreement, the village
would nay about $500 annually Tor the
upkeep OF the big sewer and the
pumping station. The pumping station
cost over $25O.0OO to build, and costs
about $4,000 year to operate.
: This would be q very fine PROPOSE
tion for east side real estate Dealers =
observed lawson. II don't blame Mr.
Hilsendegen for being satisfied with
the terms under this arrangement.
As q matter of fact. the population OF
the territory to be drained has nothing
to do with the estimated cost of sewer
maintenance. II is area that Is being
drained, and as the area of the village
Is about one-third that of the territory
drained by the sewer inside the city
limits, the village ought to pay on q
ratio of one to three. instead OF one
to go"
The committee decided to allow the
corporation counsel. the commissioner
and the engineer to figure out some
sort OF agreement that can be put up
to the villagers. g
