NO BOND ELECTION
TO IMPROVE CITY
+ BUILDING; MAYOR
USES VETO POWER

Because Mayor Vandersluis was Of
the opinion the ordinance calling for
the special bond election for the is
suance of $4,000 bonds for the re-
modelling of the city building was
defective, he last night vetoed the
ordinance which had been passed by
the city council and every alderman
present voted to accept the veto.
The point raised by the mayor was
that the ordinance as passed, in its
concluding paragraph said that the
ordinance would be in force latter
it's publication The mayor in his
veto stated it should have said "pas-
sage, approval and publication"
The mayor had vetoed the ordin-
ance some time before it's presenta-
tion to the council and when pre-
sented City Attorney Brown stated
she had not known of the action Of
The mayor and asked him why he
had not consulted him, whereat the
mayor replied that he didn't know
as he had to. Mr.. Brown also asked
the mayor when he became of the
opinion the ordinance was not legal,
but received little enlightenment. In
conclusion, City Attorney Brown
stated to the council that in his
opinion the ordinance was perfectly
legal.
Lahr Isn't Worrying.
Alderman Lahr said he saw no use
to worry over the veto, as it was
too late for the election now. He
said he couldn't see any use of fix
x,ing up the e,city,4hall4anyways as the
present one wasn't kept clean, and
he rubbed a hand over the dust COW
cred table around which sat the
mayor and aldermen of the city of
Bemidji. He also stated that the
city could levy the amount needed in
taxes for the improvement of the
city hall and needed no bond issue.
"The city council at one time lev
led $4,000 in taxes upon the people
to refund a lot of liquor licenses, y
he asserted, land l guess it could
levy $4,000 in the same way to give
the city a decent city hall and not
/work a hardship on the taxpayers. y
The time is too late now before the
scheduled election to go into any
further discussion on the matter and
there will be no election on the bond
issue for the improvement of the city
building. The project had been
heartily favored both by the mayor
and the entire city council, but the
veto was not objected to on the part
of any one and the proposed i'm
provement gently passed on.
Bridge Contractors Scorched;
Another matter came up in which
Zalch & Walton of St. Paul, con-
tractors for the new bridge, came in
for hot scorching, in which reflec-
tions were cast upon their honesty
in that whenever they had claim
in tor an estimate of money due them
on the bridge they made an affidavit
before a notary that all bills had

If one has the habit of consulting

the midst of conversation with a

may appear to visitor or casual
acquaintance to be merely bad man
