L. DAY & COMPANY HAVE PI NALLY REFUSED, Their Attornoys Advised Them That the Election Authorizing Their Issuance Was Illegally Conducted and They Do Not Think It Advis able to Take Any Risks Effort to Be Made to Recover Their 83,000 Check City Solicitor Believes the Other Bidders Will Renew Bids. It. L. Day & Company, of New York ntul IJostun, the highest bidders for the big $273,000 Issue of sower bonds, have dellnltcly nnd finally refused to comply with their bid and will not take the bonds. This Information was given yester day to City Solicitor Vosburg by the company's ttgent, who came hero especially for tho purpose. Mr. Vos burg sent In tho following communi cation bearing on the matter last night to common council, but It was not read, Inasmuch as no quorum was persent: To tlie Honoiable the Common Council. llenllemi'ti: It. L. Day k Co., the flim width was iiiviirdod the bond 1-t.uc, for the ioiitruton of (.ewers, lies finally lefused to comply with their bid, for ir.isom which I do not deem lisf to state in a puhlio communication, und at, this Is a matter which unulrc. piompt action, I would suggest that a (oimnlttic of the common council bo appointed to confer with lepresenla Hies fiom tho fccleil blanch, and that tlielo be u .special ineetlm; of I lie common buuicli one week from tonight, nt which time the iiiiuiulttei's' tan lepoit ami the councils can then take action upon this nutter. I would lie glad to dace before this lomnilttie, as well as before the representatives of the xloi't council, the objections made by It. L. Day ,v Co., together Willi all tlie facts ill the case, which have bieu tailed to my attention, toineriow- (Friday) alliinooii, or nt any other time which liny suit the convenience of the cniiiniiltie. Yoitr.s i esprit fully, A. A. Wbtirg, City Solicitor, THE OBJECTIONS MADE. The objections mude by It. L. Day & Company, which Mr. Vosburg does not desire to make present Just now, are, in brief, that they do not believe the bond Issue wtis legally authorized, or, in other words, that the special elec tion held to gain the consent ot the taxpayois was not conducted accord ing to law. The vole for the Issue of sewer bonds was recorded on the big ballot, which contained the names of all the candidates for oilice to b voted for. Day & Company claim that, under the law, there should have been special ballots ptovlded for this particular question, and that these should have been deposited in separate ballot boxes. There are several other minor objec tions, but these are the more, import ant ones. All are purely technical, but the company's attorneys believe, nevertheless, that if any citizen so de ls sired he could go Into court and have the bonds declared illegal on purely technical gtounds, and for this rea son they advised them not to take the issue. The company deposited with the city with their bid a certified check for ?:i,OU0, which they will undoubtedly make an effort to recover. The city, too, will undoubtedly muke an effort to hold on to It, and us the result the matter may be taken Into court. If this is done it will be decided whether or not the bonds were legally author ized. If court should declare that they were not then the city could, of course, not retain the $3,000. SOLTCITOK'S OPINION. It is understood that City Solicitor Vosburg doesn't think much of tho objections made by It. L. Day & Com pany from a legal standpoint and that he will so advlso any councilnianlc committee which may be appointed. He has already sent communications to each of the other eleven tlrms who bid on the bonds the same time Day & Company did, informing them of the hitter's refusal to take the issue and giving them the reasons for this re fusal. He also requests them to send hi new bids or renew their old bids, If they so desire, utter a knowledge of the facts, He Is confident that the majotity of these bidders will send 'In renewals of their old bids and that In this way tho Issue can be easily and quickly floated. Tho bonds are all ready for Issuunce and all that would be neces sary would be to .have councils jointly award tlie Issue to the highest bidder. It Is probable that the new bids will be received before next Thursday night, so that action can be taken on that occasion. , Tho next highest bidder to U. L. Day & Company was N. W. Hnrrls & Com pany, of New York, whose bid for 3, A Good Opportunity to Secure a Desirable Walking Skirt or Ladies' Cheap We place on sale this morning Strawbridge & CLothier'.s entire line ot sample Walking Skirts and Ladies' Coats, at one-third less than regular prices.
