Although the Park board IL said not
TO have forced its request or demand upon
the mayor for a special election on June
/ for 5000 park bonds, his honor stated
Saturday that he woald take up the
matter with his council TODAY. That

of refunding bonds recently sold without
advertisement has causer much popular
criticism is common street talk
AS TO the improvement bonds. at least
three of the city officials arc In mood
which may result in the blocking OF the
issue. City Clerk Wheeler and City At
torney Murphy are both reluctant to SEQ
the bonds sold at this time. while City
Treasurer Martin has a middle-of-the-
road compromise which will permit him
TO reduce the issue by about $4,000.
Neither City Attorney Murphy nor City
Clerk whecles-would say that they in
tended TO interfere. As a matter Of fact,
both these officials feel that they are
not in the deal and that the matter is
largely between the taxpayers and the
mayor and council.
