New York Moves to Sell City Bonds by Counter Offer
Gov Hughes may back a plan from the board of estimate and sinking fund to sell New York City bonds by counter offer after an attempted private sale of 29 million dollars failed to move. Comptroller Metz led talks with the governor, prompting drafts to let disposal of unbid bonds at par by private sale. A bill seeks charter changes to empower this method during the special legislative session. President Keefe of the International Longshoremen's Union advocates economy and temperance in his annual report.
