Toledo fails to attract gas bond bids amid Standard Oil influence
Toledo opens bids for 675000 dollars in natural gas bonds but receives only a 100000 local bid and no delivery until council endorsement. Outside capitalists fear the bonds, delaying a proposed city pine line and forcing readvertisement of 574000 dollars. Officials cite Standard Oil machinations as a cause for bid failures.
