AVI COUNTRY CLUB TALK (For The Bulletin by X Ray Faber.) Lawyer Bangs: I have beeii solicit ed to suggest a plan for financing a new city hall. The only plan which occurs to me is valuable, if practice ble for Its simplicity, it is to ee n tniet for such a buldling as,, is de sired, have it built, accept it, thi'ii tell the contractor you are sorry, bi t there Is on money In the treasury to pay for the building with, and fiat, you cannot promise when there' will be, as the common current expens, s of the city consume all that can b? raised by the regular limited taxation. He will sue and obtain- judgment . for what is due him. Then will' com uience mandamus: proceediuts to have a special tax levied to satl.fy the judgment. The mandamus wil be granted, the contractor wii hit- dues and the city will have gei its ue'sire.i mniiiing. ir tnts plan is not practicable, why not? Judge Collins: There are reev.l cuts for H in the . finuncial history of this city and country. Years n.'o they failed to meet eluts on bMids is sued. The plea was, that taxation to the limit fixed by law -lid net m et necessary curit nt expense's, ben -e there was nothing to apply en the bends. The court ordered a Kpeclal mandamus, tax Icvle.l, extendin ; through a trm of years, to npp'y'ou the bonds. Dr.Ratikin: I notice that Mr. F'luh ter, chairamn of the luncheons edi b city hall committee1, eleonis it essen tial to find out the amount of the floating Indebtedness of the city be , fore proceeding with the building pro ject, and Unit Alderman Greane-y, chairman uf the council finance committee, reports that at the end of last year it approximated $7.1.oO'i. It seems difficult by the city's book keeping to arrive i at the precise amount of the floating indebtedness. The expenditures have been evce nI Ing the revenue every year during a long term of years. The treasury warrants of certificates of indebted ness irpresi'iiting this yearly exe;s have, In nil probability, b'en mostly brought forward from y?ar to y.-.r and taken precedence when there was money In the treasury to dis burse; but there may be a remnant of tills paper back. Alderman Greaney can estimate the city indebt edness closely, but I doubt his ability to arrive at It precisely. Lawyer Bangs; Those holding th evidence of the city's flouting In debtedness, whatever It may by. m iv steal a march on my plan for build ing a city hall. If they should sim to gi t a special mandamus tax to s.it isfy tlnir claims probably tl:l.-c would block my city hall game, but iinlM th"n my plan holds good, else I am not an infallible lawyer.
