QUESTION WHETHER BONDS ARE TO BE SOLD While the temper of the’ voters on the question of purchasing the 20- mere Skinner & Eddy waterfront tract cannot be mistaken, the exact means of paying for the site seems stilt im doubt. Practically complete returns from city and county pre. eincts show that a 60 per cent vate, suid by some to be necessary to au- thorize the sale of the $850,000 Worth of bonds lying unsold In the port's archives, was not given the proposition, Port Commissioners W. 8. Lin- sin, George F. Cotterill and George B, Lamping’ Wednesday~said that the site will be purchased aa the voters ordered. Three solutions of the difficulty are held os possible by the commissioners. First, they contend that no authority to the bonds for the purchase may be necestary; this fs based upon com. petent legal advice. Second, the commissioners have avthority “to levy a two-mill tax this fall and with other funds the site can be paid for in two year, anyhow ‘Third, it has not been conclusively Proved that a 60 per cent major- ity is neceseary to authorize the yse of the bonds. ANYHOW, DEAL WILL GO AHEAD AT ONCE “Whichever method {s adopted, the question of acquiring th: port has heen definitely settled in the affirm. ative and the means of paying for it will be found,” the commission- ers declared. ‘The vote on the Issuance of $750,- 000 worth of bonds to finance the first steps in the Greater Seattle school building program failed by a narrow margin to reach the required 60 per cent. But the voters ap- proved the three-mill levy for school Building purposes and inembers of the school board announced Wednes- day that, it 8 possible the building program can be inaugurated thix fear, instead .of waiting until next year, when the tax revenue ‘s due. One method of constructing the buildings so urgently needed this year {s to issue warrants against the coming levy in payment fot the work. Another is to let the contract on a basis of paying fcr the work when the money comes in.
