DOES WILLISTON WANT 6 OR 4 PER CENT. BONDS? (Continued from Page 1) been gone over again under the guidance of this department and the bonds finally bought after new proceedings authorising them. kA The question of whether or^not the state Will buy the bonds 4y oe practically settled before anything whatever is done, by submitting to this office or to the attorney general's office the facts and figures in connection with their proposed issue. There are only two or three things that need to Re taken into consideration primarily in proposing the IssMe pf bonds, things of a. legal nature, and those are as folltyiva:. Can'the obligatiW be assumed r*tqali\'wi Is the purpose of the bond issue autnqrized by If funding or refunding bonds, if't^e ddbt^^A^-^i^inded a valld^and binding indebtedness against the cit3j $Jjj$V i', I*- These questions cah be easily d[mr4nined befipr^'lB^y steps are taken to authorize the bonds, and all subsei^ifit pi^eei^^gs arf simply routine in nature as the laws and court decisions of our stif(i| ^^s'i'Vfry clear What, is necessary to authorize the flnai lssue off t^fUj^ondS. Th^[i tfiin^s are to put it up to the voters in proper^ shai^' Ja|8 proper*^ •nces calling election, also to pro^gf for an anila^jlaif'i.to pay Ir amd create sinking fund. '^4 The Wotice of iiectioh and proceedings ty.t«ii^ll^ jppy-* which you sent seem to 'have been gotten up by some one who knows his business, as they are very specific and complete, and I presume that the thing was done by the people who have agreed to take the bonds, but there ip one thing that I do not undarstaoil^and that is why they are issuing/ boAk*tai» 0nly *^jta|i jpf the^ftoating-debt (946,000!) and at the same time aire^voting ttf "ratlf^r an^H«ignile as' valid" the balance of 962,500? Whyf h*ave ,'fgraeif. tp. tike the warrants, ^isoyat Ithe Iwal cale of 7 per csinti do not see the object of bonding to J|i.P(i., Q!?)y .a.„pa.1E Qf the .outstandKltf I would not want to say that the state would take these bonds untlfv fully advised as to the city's financial standing showing clearly just, how the funds are, warrants outstanding,., what, issuef for,. wi»at is the total as^ sessed valuation of the'city. aVsO wi Would have to''See thai the'proceed ings had in 1905 to Increase the debt limit were legally instituted, etc. Also how much/ of the city's indebtedness has been incurred for waterworks, the total water works febt must not exceed 4 per cent of the aasessed valua tion, if the other debts bring ft up to the limit of "8 per cent for other pur popes. j'l don't ,know what kind of a contract your council has made with those, bond peopfe, and maybe they could hold the city to its bargain, or at any rate they could demand a fancy attorney fee for their servlcea sp far rendered, anc( could no doubt collect it through the courts. I do not believe any agreement prior to the bond issue as to their sale vould in any way affect the validity of the bonds themselves if they are'authorized by the voters, unless it could be shown that the people were hoodwinked in the matter and did not know what they were voting on, in which case injunp* tion proceedings might be upheld. I would think the surest way to stop the deal would be to vote the bonds dowp and then take the matter-up again and vote bonds at 4 per cent to sell to the etate. The city can eaaily afford to stand the coet of new proceedlnge and also any reasonable fee that the bond attorneye may ask* for Instituting the former proceedings, if It will result in disposing of the bonds to the state at the lower riate. If you can give me the figures as to the finances of the city, assessed valuation, for the" year 1909, as outlined'hereinbefore, and all possible inside facts of the matter, 1 can give «you a pretty decisive answer as to whether or not the department will buy the bonde. If you can do thie at once, I will let you know before the date of election. Respectfully,.. •. •. W. E.
