Several attempts have been made
to sell the bonds in the open

unsuccessful in getting a good bid.
The plan to sell the bonds to local
residents was adopted after the
accommodation was made in a
communication from Congressman

possible through a motion by Coun.
Gilman Shuey calling the council
and city solicitor together tonight
for that purpose.
Today for the first time the peo-

was brought about last night at the

another faction favoring holding af-
