CITY WILL SUBSCRIBE
Hayden Instructed to Draft Ordinance
Tor Purchase of Liberty Bonds.

Purchase of liberty bonds by mu-
inequalities conforms with the spirit
of the law if not with the letter of
the law, according to a ruling made
to the city commission here today by
George P. Hayden, city attorney.
After The opinion had been read the
commission instructed Hayden to
draft an ordinance for the purchase
of $1,000 of the third liberty loan.
Hayden, in his opinion, pointed out
that no provision is made in the law
for the purchase of government Sc
CURT es or other investments unless
the city had a surplus on hand to
cover the amount of the investment
in addition to an amount covering
outstanding city bonds. The law
governing such investments provides
that municipal securities shall be Civ
en- precedence over other Investments.
It was pointed out, however. that
the present emergency did not exist
at the time the law was made, and
the recommendation was made that
the technicalities be disregarded. At
tention was also called to the fact
that interest in the third issue is Il
per cent more than required by law.
The majority of the public would
favor this investment" said Hayden
