State blocks bond suit over city funding bonds
Ralph Thompson and others sue to restrain the city from issuing funding bonds approved by an July ordinance. The proposal calls for 400 600 bonds at 4.12 percent for a 30 year period to wipe out indebtedness, secured by back taxes and depositories. Mayor C M Chambers argues the city would net about 20 000 a year in interest. The attorney general’s office was asked to rule on validity. Dickson argues charter prohibits bonds without a vote, while the city cites band and warrant legislation allowing funding bonds for indebtedness. A suit for injunction was filed with briefs by league attorneys and city counsel, the matter taken under advisement.
