SUSTAINS CITY RAILWAY BOND DEAL
Albany June 20 The State Board of Railroad Commissioners says no law was violated when the New York City Railway Company sold 15 million dollars in debenture bonds at a discount. The board notes no law barred issuing 8 percent notes at par then redeeming them soon after. Metropolitan Securities owned all stock and notes, with stockholders facing accounting differences. The board urges remedial legislation to require disclosure of stock subscriptions and long term notes. Mrs John Herbert of Jersey City had her husband bound over after he spoke in his sleep of separation and support. The American Mosquito Extermination Society summarizes the De Groot law, allowing local boards to force property owners to drain water to curb breeding mosquitoes, with costs possibly borne by property owners or all benefited parties.
