ISSUE
FOR METUCHEN
Matter Will get Immediate
Action so as to Push
improvements

METUCHEN, Dec. 20.-An ad-
journcd meeting of the council, the
last of the year, was held in bor-
ough hall last night at which time
| several matters of unfinished bust
| ness were disposed of and the initial
| preparations for carrying the towns
Indebtedness on a bond issue was
provided for.
Edgar Spear, representing a New
York bond house, informed the Dor
ough fathers Of the necessary pro-
| cedure to be taken in floating a bond
J issue in place Of the present inan-
cling under temporary certificates of
Indebtedness, and advised that the
borough attorney be empowered to
consult municipal bond attorneys in
the matter.
This suggestion was followed out.
Mr.. Benner was directed to take
the matter up with bond attorneys
and ascertain just what will be re-
CURED in floating a bond issue. This
consultation is to be arranged for
Immediately so that no time Will be
lost In the Issuing of road improve
ment bonds early in the new year.
Mr.. Spear declared that Metuchen
is in a very fair financial shape,
having no bonded debt but for school
purposes, which condition should
prove attractive to purchasers of the
obligations. The speaker also adj
vised that in issuing the bonds no
interest rate should be specified as
that would have a tendency to cause
competition which would be a ben
eft to the town.
With the road improvement bonds
that are to be issued together with
those to provide for the building of
the sewer it is estimated that about
$35O,0O0 will have to be raised.
Mayor Wilson appointed Council
men Luther e. Riddle, Jr., and
Phineas Jones as a special building
committee on the borough hall pro-
jsct and the app .intments were I'M
medlately confirmed.
Excess funds remaining in the
various accounts and aggregating
$b,597.45 were transferred to ac-
counts showing a deficit. This action
being the final work of the council
in closing up the years work.

based on population of the chapter
