Bond RiIl In Attacked

Knoxville.-S. G. Heiskell, who re-
tired as mayor Sept. 30, has filed a
bill enjoining the operation of what is
known as the water bond bill, under
which the city may issue a half million
dollars OF bonds for the extension Of
the water plant, and under which con-
troll of the plant passes to a commits
sion Of three, which was elected at
the first meeting of the new commits
sion Oct. l. The bill alleges that the
bond act does not require a bond of
the commissioners, who may expend
the half-million dollars from the bond
issue. and the income from the plant,
nearly 100000, without restriction,
and that should any of them be guilty
of misfeasance or malfeasance there
would be no way to recover. Under
the bill, If 1t had become operative,
the water plant would be taken from
the direct control of the city commits
sion and given over to the water works
commission. A temporary injunction
was granted.

More Fraud CHARGES,

'''~'~ ''ee6 ~ba'S SSs
During the session Of the city probe
on Sept. 20 Harry S. Stokes, counsel
for the taxpayers, declared that there
had been fraud in the reduction of
the city assessments on banks In
| Nashville.
He made this declartion while coun-
sci for the taxpayers was attempting
to obtain an order from Commissioner
Bailey to force Alvin E. Graham, city
tax assessor. to produce the schedules
of assessments against the local banks.
Mr.. Graham refused to produce them
unless ordered by the court, saying
that they were made under oath and
that they were not public records and
should be seen only by the employees
Of his office and himself.
Stokes said that he probably could
show that one of the national banks
was interested in the election OF Hill
airy Howse.
I'VE might be able to show how it
was possible for q bank to be worth
less one year than another by $780,
900, and how 1t got its reduction"
Mr.. Bailey held that the introduce
tion Of the schedules was relevant.
Commissioner Bailey said that IL
the evidence had shown that there had
been fraud in reducing the taxation Of
one bank that the Introduction of the
schedules would be proper. Harry
Stokes said that the evidence thus
far introduced showed by circum-
stances that there had been fraudu-
lent understanding.
