Council Adopts Program To Issue $935,000 Worth Of Bonds At Early Date Street Improvement Pro-' gram Curtailed Slightly i to Avoid Present Limit of ' Bonded Indebtedness CITY FATHEHS JOLTED Must Circulate Street Pav ing Petition* All Over; f Again, on Account of Mi*- j take in Phraseology. A decision to authorize the' issuance of $935,000 in mu- ! nicipal improvement bonds was reached early last night by the City Council toward the close of a long conference with Chester B. Masslich, of New York, bond attorney, in which Mr. Masslich and the Councilmen threshed out the details incident to the issue. The bonds art- to be divided as follews: For storm sewers. $32.000: sanitary sewers, $110.000; street ? extensions and widening. 17,000; street Improvements, as comprised In City Manager Ferebee's paving program, $306,000; and water ex tensions and Improvement, $480, 1100. Total. $935.000. The Council was compelled to curtail the street paving program some $82.000 In order to avoid exceeding ihe preaent bond limit of this city. Figures were cited giving the present gross debt as $1,131,750, from which $562,000 was deducted for water and other utilities exempted under Ihe Mu nicipal Finance Act, leaving a net dobt of $469.000 as agslnst a Ending limit of $804.800. leaving met margin of $$3S.OOO, available ? fur street Improvements and sew Installation, the latter not be Ins exempted under the act. It was decided Anally to make such minor modifications In the street paving program as might be necessitated by the reduction. Much of the afternoon was spent in an argument by Mr. Mass lich, on the on# hand, and mem bers of the Council and City At torney J. B. I-elgh. on the other, over the legality of the petitions for street paving circulated and signed In anticipation of the pav ing bond issue. Mr. Masslich held that the petitions, as written, did not specify that the property own ers pay the required one-half of tl>? paving costs, except for the street Intersections. He pointed out also that the petitions did not Include the property owners on the respective streets who had not signed the petitions, and, strictly Interpreting the phraseology of th* documents, they could not be required to pay one cent of the paving costs. The signers, he ststed. actually had obligated themselves to pay only one-fourth of the coat of the paving, where as they should pay ttne-half. City Attorney Leigh, who draft ed the petitions, held out to the last ditch, figuratively, but flnall* Mr. Masslich prevailed. He prom ised to draft new petitions, in con formity with the law. and to for ward them here next week. Hence it is that the Councilmen who went to great pains during the last few weeka to have the original petitions signed by a ma 3#r?rtty of the property owners, fac* th*? dlatinctly unpleasant Job or having to do their work all over ^'incidentally, Mr. Masslich took a crack at the city charter, after having pointed out various pecu lifiritles In It. I think It is a charter fearfully made." he commented. Perhapa you should he very proud of It.

After a conference with City i Kngineer W. C. Olsen Thursday, , in which earlier estimates of coats ? were revised upward substantial |ly. City Manager Kerebee present led a street improvement program calling for a total expenditure of <369.000 to the Council for In j elusion in the pending bund issue, j In the conference with Chester ' B. Masslich, New York bond ut [torney, which consumed most of i the Council session Thursday af j ternoon, it developed that the city , could not undertake a street bond 'issue of <368,000 in conjunction I with the other improvements con i templated. As a means of seal 1 ing down costs, <39,000 wan lopped from the sewer program of <149,000, leaving <110.000. and .<63,000 from the street program, {leaving a total of <305.000. I, lSefore leaving Thursday night, I however, Mr. Masslich agreed to {add <1.000 to the street bond is sue. bringing It up to <306,000. lUfw IOII l*ollcy I'nquallfled disapproval of the policy adopted In issuing the 1911 street Improvement bonds here was expressed by Mr. Masslich in the course of his parley with the Council. Repayment of the bond* will not begin until 1941. "It is absolutely wrong to sad dle your children and grandchil dren with the Job of paying for improvements which you, your selves, are enjoying," Mr. Mass lich declared. "You should not allow your 1911 street paving bonds to run untl 1941, without providing one cent In the mean time through a sinking fund. 1 trust that you will correct this in the next few years. Otherwise, the bond buyers may embarrass you by Informing you that they du not care to purchase bonds Issued by the kind of a town that saddled its rightful obligations on another generation." Mr. Masslich declared that Charlotte had been taught a cost ly lesson along that line a few years ago ? In fact, had been made an example of ? and that since then, that city had built up prob | ably the tx-st credit of any in North Carolina. Hoard Karen A I tentative Through the certainty that the paving program now pending must be cut heavily to conform with the reduction In available funds, the City Council fscee the alternative of spending less money on Main and Hoad streets, which ! were to have been paved with I brick on a concrete base, or of dropping outright one or more J streets which at present lack pav . Ing entirely. I Just what turn matters will | take Is uncertain. Mayor McCabe (expressed himself vigorously Thursdsy afternoon as opposed to ; dropping the Main and Road j street Improvement plan, and sev eral members of the Council de Iclared themselves as Just as i strongly against leaving out. al together or in part, any of the oth er streets. It was suggested that several of the streets to be surfaced with asphalt and tar might be partially built from the proceeds of the present bond issue, and completed later, when a contemplated In crease of about a million dollars In property values here, through extension of the city limits, goes Into effect. This Is anticipated at the session of the General Assem bly next winter. Mr. Masslich recommended that the pending bond Issue be placed on the market Immediately after July 1. explaining that there was a stronger demand for bonds at that time than at any other except j possibly January 1. through the fact that many dividends and th?j like are paid July 1, and the reel plents are casting about for at tractive mesns to Invest them. In the course of his stay. Mr. Masslich suggested also that the city charter be amended by elim inating a clause providing that j bond issues for street Improve I ments may not draw more than & I per cent Interest. He explained that the Rtate Municipal Plnanc* I Act provided a limit of 6 per cent, 'and declared that the city might aa well fall back on that. Inas much as decided emharrsssment i might possibly be encountered la ter In disposing of street bonds. The smallest things on earth may be pprta of the atom, bet the too smallest are tltfit shoes. CALIFORNIA IN TURMOIL OVER NEW DRY ORDER Proposal Make That Slate Text in-: Ground of En forcement Program Stirs Opposition of Wets STATE LAW IN DANGER Referendum for Repeal Statute Making Volstead t Act State Law Is Reiiu; Agitated By BUS KI.INK HA ti MNM? J San Francisco. May 28 ? Amidst the hubbub of opinions, pro and con In regard to President Cool idge's authorization of making California a testing ground for em ployment of peace officers in Na . tionul prohibition enforcement, ban come at least defenite reac tion. A movement Is being launched here for repealof the Wright Act. the state law uuppori ing the Volstead Act. Prominent person h back of tho movement plan to circulate an Ini tiative petition to place repeal of the state luw before the voters at the autumn election. Leader* in ,the repeal movement say it Is de signed to give Callfornians an op portunity to vote on the prohlbi I tlon question and let the nation | know exactly where this contmon ! wealth stands. They believe. Judging from the i recent newspaper poll* on the i question, that the people of this ; state are overwhelmingly in favor I of legalising the sale of light wines I and beer, and they profess to be i lleve that a majority will express this sentiment by voting for re peal of the state enforcement act. They feel the people of California have been sufficiently aroused by the recent attempt to link local and Federal enforcement to throw i out the stale law and leave the ; question of prohibition enforce i ment entirely In the bauds of Ked ' eral ageuts. j Of course, this is merely. Ibe i opinion of wine snd beer modlfl j catlonlsts. Whether they diagnose the sltuutlon correctly can only be 'ascertained by the referendum they propose. i Then naturally are receiving the 'support of the state branch of the Association against the Prohibi |tlon amendment, which has a large membership In the state and which at one time had a consider able feminine following. They can count also upon the j support of large foreign elements and the many descendants In I Northern California of Spanish ?and Italian families which always ? have been accustomed to the use I of native wines. . Those ravoring such a referen j dum realize they will be opposed. 1 not only at the polls, but In ask ing for the referendum also, by the extreme drys. They also real ize a difference of sentiment on the liquor question' in Northern and Southern California and the possibility of the feminine vote going against liberalization of the law. They chose the refendum method because they hope for a quicker reaction from the voters than they could secure from the 'state legislature. Political partle* in the state are avoiding the wet and dry Issue. A widespread campaign Is now being waged to Influence more to , ters to register. Civic clubs are being urged to fine members who fail In this respect. Sponsors of the prohibition referdum claim that If they get their repeal mea Mure on the November ballot, they will cause a larger registration of voters thsn all other forms of propaganda combined could se cure. Every one Is either a wet or n dry. they claim, and referdum on the question will bring out ev ery voter In the state on election day.
