Sald Treasurer shall, in the same manner, when authorized 8o to do, proceed .to date and sell such additional number -and amount of said bonds as shall equal said sum | of $200,000, computed according to the face or | par value thereof; and said treasurer shall, in the same manner, when authorized so to do, proceed to date and sell the remainder of said bonds in number and amount as above set forth until all of sald bonds shall have becn | so0 sold; provided, that no more of said ponds | shall be dated or sold at any one time than shall equal said sum of $200,000, computed. as foresaid. “ ¥henever the Board of State Harbor Com- missioners shall desire a sale of any of such bonds for the purposes herein set forth, they ehall call a_meeting of the board for the con- sideration thereof, and shall, at least ten days prior to such meeting, notify the Governor of the State and the Mayor of the city and county of San Francisco thereof, and of the time, place and object of such meeting, Which meet- | ing must be held at the office of said Board of | State Harbor Commissioners. At sald meeting, or at any adjourned meeting thereof, the Gov- ernor and the Mayor shall be deemed additional | members of said board, with like powers and | rights as the other members thereof. If the Governor and the Mayor, or either of them, | should fail to be present at such meeting, the | board shall adjourn to & day certain, and | notify the Governor and Mayor anew, as be- fore, and it either be present at such adjourned | meeting, with all the members of sald board, action may be had as if all were present. Said board, as thus constituted, shall proceed to consider the question of the sale of said bonds to the amount of $200,000, computed according | to the face or par value thereof, and a vote shall be taken theron, and a record made of | such vote upon the minutes of said board. An affirmative vote of four members of said board, constituted as In this section provided, shali be sufficient to authorize a sale of said bonds | to the amount of $200,000, computed as afore- sald; but any less vote shall be deemed a nega- tive vote. If the vote be in the affirmative, as herein provided, that fact, together with a transcript of the minutes of said meeting, in- cluding all adjourned meetings thereof, shall | be certified by the president and secrefary of | said board, and under the seal thereof, to the State Treasurer, who shall file and preserve the same among the records of his office; and the said Treasurer shall thereupon proceed to | date and sell in the manner set forth in sec- | tion 4 of this act, such number and amount of | sald bonds as shall equal the sum of $200,00, | computed according to the face or par value thereot. Section 6 provides for the creation of the San Francisco seawall and thoroughfare sink- | ing fupd, and directs the manner in which the | State Treasurer shall transfer money from the | harbor improvement fund to the seawall fund. | This act shall be submitted to the people of | the State of California for their ratification at | the next general election to be held in the month of November, 1900. | Senator Bulla moved to amend the bill | by . fixing the rate of interest at 3% per | cent instead of 4 per cent. I This amendment carried, and then the | same_Senator asked that a provision be | added to section 4, which read: “The| | mal passa ment . Senator Simpson opposed the proposi- tion of making any preferred purchasers, as it brought the State into competition with its people. To 11 interest, bearing viding that voting by the people on this bond issue be under the Australian ballot system, was adopted. Senator Smith moved to entirely strike out section 12 of the act providing for ihe publieation of the act in two_Sa cisco newspapers, two_ Los Angeles pa- pers, one in San Jose, Stockton and Sac- ramento. The amendment was adapted, Senator Cutter endeavored to have the, rate of inter to be paid on-the bonds reduced from 3% to 3 per cent. Senator Braunhart thought that difi- culty would be experienced in- selling the bonds at par when they bore interest at only 3 per cent. Senator Simpson, anxious to defeat the bill and its purgose. favored the proposi- tion to reduce the rate of interest. Senator Cutter claimed that Massachu- setts, which State had a heavy debt, 'sold its bonds at a premium. He thought Cali» fornia was a weajth{A State, had no debt, and the impression should not go out that in order to dispose of its bonds they must | necessarily bear a high rate of interest. Senator Morehouse called attention to the fact that an amendment had beem adopted making the bonds a popular loan, but if the rate of interest was further re- duced that _purpose would be defeated. Senator Burnett and Senator Dwyer both held that Senator Cutter’s amend- ment was calculated to defeat the pur- pose of .the bill. Senator Cutter opposed the proposition of fixing the State rate of interest at 3! per cent. thereupon found that his amendment was defeated by a vote of 9 to 17. Senator Smith then moved that the bill be refused engrossment. He said he made the motion, not to kill the act, but. to- give the Senate time to think about it. He said that not a newspaper in the State that he had ever seen had expressed itself as favoring the issuance of State bonds for improvement purposes. If he was not given time to study the bill ana if time was not given to hear from the public press, he proposed to vote, on for- ge, against the bill. Senator Boyce concurred in what Sena- tor Smith had said. Senator Braunhart in response to Smith sald that every merchants’ association in San Francisco had declared in favor of his bill. Public opinion in the. State's metropolis was an absolute unit.in favor ofo the bill. Senator Smith endeavored to withdraw his motion that the bill be denied engross- ment, but Senator Cutter objected. Senator Simpson and Senator Braun- hart had a personal tilt as to who was en- titled to the floor. Senator Simpson in- | sisted on speaking, but he was speaking against time. He moved that the further consideration of the bill go over until some future time. This motion was lost, and by a yote of 3 to 29 the bill was advanced to third read- I‘rl'lg by the defeat of Senator Smith’s mo- on.
