The Street Car Deal

Some Of the city cOunclmen appear to be afraid of
their own shadows the street deal.
Yet it seems simple proposition.
And it seems that if the city can put the deal thru
without placing the construction the bonds that Council
man Lane desires. it win be better off.
Lane contends that the bonds as at present written
instead of being first lien the gross receipts taking
precedence over costs Of operation and maintenance.
This question has not yet been decided by the
preme court tho the city has issued this form of utility
bond in several instances
The mayor and other councilmen are not convinced
that Lane is right in his construction However that may
be- suppose the supreme decides it Lanes way?
The result would be that the eys utility bonds would
pressed by of the'councimen If that private
opinion, it should also be their public opinion IT, under
such supreme court construction the city won't be able
to sell utility bonds written they had been before they
VIII all have to be written in the future in the form that
the street seeks to have the SIS
bonds written
How. would the city be the gamer. them by having
the question decided by the supreme court?
1t ought to be understood-and every councilman does
understand the city will pay off those bonds in full
wise if technicaity would permit it to get from
under the Indebtedness To protect it's credit and to be
bonds.
This after all, is the companys real guarantee of
payment The company under the law not take back
its property if the city failed pay The utility bonds do
not provide for that and the public utility would not
. permit It, -
AS The Star said before it does not make anv differ
ence whether the utility bonds recte earnings" or
the bonds turned over the citys obligation would he he
same 1t would have to pay-in full.
Inc only question, then, Is: Does the CITY want
lines? w ~
That is the only question, and assuming from the four
to one vote of the people that the city does want the
traction system the shortest way to the contamination
of the deal would be the best.
