AQUEDUCT BONDS
BRING $1,530,000
New York Insurance Companies
Purchase Million, and Synd
icate Takes Remainder
COUNCIL ACTED YESTERDAY
Amount Resulting from Sale Suf
ficient to Finance Construc
tion Until February
By ndopting a resolution prepared
by Judge Dillon of tho legal firm of
Dillon, Thomas & Clay, the council
yesterday sold $1,630,000 worth of Owens
river aqueduct bonds. These bonds are
to be delivered to the buyers in New
York and as soon as they can be pre
pared C. H. Hance, city treasurer,
will take them to New York.
Of this amount $530,000 will be taken
by the bond buying syndicate that has
an option on the entire issue of aque
duct bonds; $500,000 will be sold to the
New York Life Insurance company,
and the same amount to the Metro
politan Insurance company. This ac
tion practically closes the deal that
is to bring enough money into the
aqueduct treasury to finance the con
struction of the big ditch until Febru
ary, when there will be money in the
sinking fund nnd when mnre bonds
can be sold under the option.
The action of the council was taken
after a report of the finance committee
had been read. This report was full
and complete and was a narrative of
the whole experience in securing
money for the aqueduct since the tem
porary reduction of a few weeks ago.
AY .7. Washburn, chairman of the
committee, said the report was made
purposely minute in every detail that
it might be placed In the files for the
benefit of any one who wanted to see
It. After reciting the history of the
case, the report said:
The contract with the syndicate
provides that on February 1, 1911,
it shall elect whether or not it
shall take the allotment of $4,5%,
--onn of bonds for the year in pay
ments of sixty day intervals of
$R16,000. Tho sale recommended by
this committee herewith will fur
nish about $200,000 per month for
construction until that date, and
leave a balance on hand at that
time of about $465,000, which will
be needed in case the syndicate
does not exercise its option. This
is all the money definitely In sight.
Your committee recommends that
the aqueduct board limit expendi
tures to the sum named, unless in
the meantime additional funds shall
be received or definitely assured.
The syndicate makes offer to en
deavor to sell $."10,000 of additional
bonds at once to ta'.e the place of
the bank subscriptions, which will
be canceled on the consummation
of the transactions contemplated
by the resolution. The proposition
has been considered by the com
mittee, and if it finds same can be
availed of to the advantage of the
city, it will be made the subject of
future recommendations.

Gotßiggest Prize for Wrong Answer!
TERMINAL, Cal., July 13, 1910.
BARTLETT MUSIC CO., Los Angeles, Cal.:
Dear Sir—Your ad exposing the Piano Contest Scheme is OK. A few months ago the
Music Co. gave such a contest. To show my wife the inside of the play, I sent two replies. In one
reply I sent the right answer, signed by herself. The other answer I made out wrong and sent it with
my own signature. The wrong answer received a check for $125.00, while the right one only received
$100.00. As a proof of this statement I can send you the checks and correspondence relating to same.
They make amusing reading. Oh, the public is easy! Yours truly,
G. W. ANDERSON.
Could Do Better
Without Check!
15§3 West 35th St., Los Angeles, Cal., June 28, 1910.
BARTLETT MUSIC CO.:
Dear Sir—My little girl (aged 10) worked the
piano Uncle Sam face puzzle, and received a nice letter,
with check enclosed for $108, teling her that she had won
the largest prize. It was to apply as part first payment on
any piano of their own make. Knowing that you can't get
something for nothing, and have it good, I tried to talk her
out of it, but she wanted me to try. They said to prove that
this check was good for $108, don't tell us until you have
bought your piano and made terms. I followed orders and
priced a piano ($25) twenty-five dollars down and $8.00 per
month. The price of the piano was $350. Well, I said I
will pay $110 down and the balance eight dollars per month.
Well, that was very good; he would be pleased to fix me
up at once. I gave him his check for $108 and $2.00 in
money, and he looked at it and said Oh-oh!—well, you see,
we can't do this; we will have to have twenty-five in money
and the check. I tried every way on earth to make him take
the check for something, but failed. I could do better with
out the check than I could do with it. At last I tried to get
him to take it for ten dollars as first payment on a new 1
piano of their own make, but couldn't make him take it for
two dollars. So I quite agree with you about the puzzle bus
iness and think it a shame to disappoint a little girl, as no
one above that age would be fooled by a.cheap fake of that
kind. Yours respectfuly,
DEFORREST CHEMIST.
p. s.—lf you like, send this to The Review Music Trade.
Ought to Stampede
That Store!
841 Sunset Blvd., July 14, 1910.
THE BARTLETT MUSIC CO.,
J. Fremont Salyer, President, City:
Dear Sir—Keep the ball rolling. I like to boost in a good
cause. I don't doubt that what you say about those piano
purchase checks is true. I have a pile of them—l never think
of using one of them. I know of some that have been badly
bitten using them.
What is more cutting than this—to contestants —viz:
That it is not the one who gives the best solution according
to the rules in the printed offer, but it is the one who can
paint a dainty picture, writes a poem or sends in something
not required and outside the rules, who gains favor? You
would hardly believe it, but I can show you where the first
prize was recently awarded to a contestant who did not ad
here to any of the rules given, except to send the (so-caled)
answer within the time limit! Neatness in doing something
else is not neatness in the genuine answer.
The whole army of contestants, except the one who ob
tained the piano by unfair means, ought to combine and go
together in a body and stampede that store. It might be a
good ad for the firm. Yours truly,
W. R. HAMILTON.
