BONDS TO PAY
CITYS UTILITY
DEBTS URGED
$445,00 Ordinance May Be
Presented to Council
Next Meeting.

City Controller Sterling r. Holt
today asked Corporation Counsel
John w. Hoffman to draw an Or
dinance authorizing a $445, 900 bond
issue to pay the city's 1927 utility
bills.
It is probable the measure will be
introduced at the next council meet
ing, June 10.
The funds to pay the overdue util-
ity bills were not provided in the
1928 budget. The Indianapolis
Water Company and the Indian
apolis Power and Light Company
obtained court judgments against
the city totaling approximately
$4,000. The Judgment must be
paid by bond issue.
Stresses Issues Economy
The debt bears 6 per cent interest
from the date of the judgment I'M
til paid by the city.
Holt said the Indiana Bell Tele-
phone Company bill of $4,000 has
been cut to about $4,000 since he
took Office in November.
ut is to the advantage of the city
to pay the Judgement as. quickly as
possible, because the interest totals
about $1,000 a month. The judge
ment was issued two months ago.
I'VE can borrow the money for
about 81 per cent if the city could
sell the bonds.
IF council passes the bond issue
it will show that the Slack admin
istration is endeavoring to exercise
economy and pay the citys bills in
a businesslike manner Holt said.
100000 Bill Due
Banks are refusing to buy city
bonds because of Stacks clouded
title to Office pending the State
Supre meCourt decision on the quo
warranto case of Joseph L. Hogue,
controller under the Shank ad-
ministration.
Holt hopes to pay 100000 utility
bills for 1923 within the next few
days. The city owes the light, water
and telephone companies.
I'VE are running from hand to
mouth under the present appro-
priation. 1t will be- necessary to
make careful study of the 1929
budget to take care of such over
sights" Holt said.

the ladies' IN waiting to Queen
Claude. wife OF Francis /.
Her beauty and accomplishments
Were greatly admired at the French
Court, although some writer's say
that Anne was not at ali progresses
ing. nor particularly gifted. How
ever. | prefer to think OF her as a
very lovely lady. more the victim OF
her own ambition than the pawn OF
Fate.
Anne returned TO England in

Immediately surrounded BY many
suitors. She entered the court OF
England as maid OF honor to poor.

wife OF Henry. and here ii was that
