KEYPORT. Jan. 2.-The Gold
schmidt-borough controversy which
has lain dormant for sometime pas
threatens to reopen with all its OLD
vim and ardor. Mr.. Goldschmidt
has appeared before the council for
the third time and asked redress for
alleged SANDER as well as money

brinE suit against the borough and a
committee to take up the matter APP
pointed by the mayor includes the
members of the street and finance
committees.
Mr.. GoIdschmidt claims that he
did not appear before the former
boards because they would not rs
ten to his statements and claims that
the present board will give him the
attention he desires. The Gold
schmidt-borough trouble began sew
eral years ago during former Mayor
r. o. Walling's term of office over
the purchase of a property by the
former at the orner of Broad ana
Front streets.

alleged to have been presented to
the borough to make the walks on

Numerous lawsuits then took
place and as the result of these MI,
Goldschmidt makes his claim at TINS
time before the borough. The conf

BOND NEWS AND NOTES.


Trading in bonds yesterday was in
somewhat reduced volume and the
tendency of all issues except obligations
of the United States Government was
lower. although declines were in almost
all cases only fractional The continued
investment demand for Libertys was the
one bright spot of an otherwise dull
session. The tax exempt 33hs crossed
the 10i level for the first time to 101 0S
new high price, while both the third
and fourth AZ s were again well sup
ported. The former issue got up to
10000 and the latter to 101.6S. a new
high price. Industrial and railroad
obligations. among them many gilt edge
bonds. showed little change. probably
due to the growing complications In the
countrys labor troubles, which are caus-
ing many traders to stay out of the
market or take profits. Foreign Gov
ernment issues about held their own
with Saturdays final quotations. The
trend Of French Republic 71hs and Ss
was toward a slightly better level most
of the day. A number Of the low priced
domestic bonds were in supply at mod
crate declines. Total transactions were
S10.963.000.
