Hoinls Turned Down. ,
The Chicago firm of Iniycrs 1ms
turned down the municipal bonds
of St. Johns uimhi the uroiitnl,
urineipally, that the money to be
derived fiom the.se liouds was not
to lie devoted to public utilities. t
It is yet possible to communicate
with one other firm who made an
offer for the purchase of these
bonds; but it is a question if it, too,
would not turn down the proiKi-
hition without examination owiuk
to the lciiiMh ot tune that has
elapsed since the bids were ojencd.
The hrm would doubtless lear some
chicanery. 1
