LOAN OF BELL AWAITS
COUNCILS DECISION
Resolution Will BesTaken Up
by Finance Committee
Next Week

The question whether or not to permit
Liberty Bell as a drawing card in the
third Liberty Loan drive. which opens
April D. will be taken up by members
of Councils Finance Committee early
next week. As an appropriation and
new legislation are needed. 1t will not
be possible 60 tender the Government the
bell in time for the opening Of the drive.
The resolution lending the relic to the
Government, introduced by Common
Councilman William NJ. Lewis. Of the
Thirty-second Ward, was held UP In Sc
lect Council. and on motion of Charles
Seger was reformed to the committee.
In the committee there is a division of
opinion as to the advisability Of send
ing the bell on tour, and even if the
project is finally favored it cannot be
decided upon before the second regular
meeting of Councils in April.
The provision in the resolution calling
for the appointment of a committee Of
ten Councilmen, five from each chamber
Is looked upon as an effort to obtain a
patriotic "junket" for certain favored
members of the two branches, and in
| the event of the Bell finally being ten
dered the Government this clause Is
likely to be modified.
Counci,men favoring the resolution
will confer with Mayor Smith before the
question is raised in the Finance Com
mttee and upon his decision will largely
J rest the fate of the project.
