The poiut was made in an article ina morning paper yesterday that about halt a million of bonds fsaued since March of 1872 to replace or take up old bonds as they fell due were vold, because at tho time of vhe faene of the new bonda thers wasa law In forco winch required & popnlar voloasa prerequlelte to ench fesue, The point may fn part be well taken. As awhole, it certainly Is not. Prior to the adoptlon of the new Constitution, the city, onder its old charter, had authority to rencw bonds, whenever thev fell due, by iho issuc of new ones, Thers ivas one wn{ of doing it for ‘water-bonds, anmother = for sewer- bonds, etc. In March of 1872 ihie Generat Assembly passed an act aillowing countles, citfes, towns, or sctiool dlstricts which had {ssued ratlroad ald bonds, or bonda for any public Im- provement or nnr other Fnrpnw. to jesue new ones where the holders of those outstanding would sutrender them, —these new onestoron not exceed- ing twenty fienn. and to bear a rate of Intercst not excecding that stipulated for In the old bonds. A provieo was tacked on, however, that this Issue should not be authorized antil It had been ap- proved by a popular vote at koma regular or special election,” Detween March, 1872, and Apell, 1873, the city lssucd $200,000 of bonds not under the provisfons of this act, Lut under the provisiona of the old charter,nomo of these bonda running for twenty years, and none of them having been”au- Ilwrlux{hy a ponular vote. April, 1875, the city uaopted the General Inspection act, which providos in l“a alxth paragraph of the sixty-second roctlon that the City Conncil may {nsne now bands to take up old ones, Theru is no question, therefore, of the entire validity of ony Londs thus jssued since that time, ‘The on), q‘nn!llun 1n as o those isened between March of 1872 and April of 1875, It s claimed on one side that this general act of 1872 wasa THE CITY.
