Both Bond Issues to Be Re-Submitted to People Initiative Will Be Resorted to in Order to Remedy Defects in Present Charter Governing Voting of Bonds, After Which Issues of $90,000 and $37, 250 Will Again Be Submitted for Vote. In order to Insure so far a possible the legality of all future bond Issues by the city and to pave the way for the re-submlsslon to the voter of the city of the '.H),0oo bond Issue for the construction of the water system and the $:i",2.Vj Issue for the purchase of the present water system from the Pacific Power & Light Company, the council decided at Its meeting Men day to Invoke the Initiative In order to revise the present charter without further delay. The decision of the council In this matter was prompted by the recent refusal of the $-'r,2.0 bond Issue by a Portland banking bouse on the ground that It wa Illegal. The present, antiquated charter of the city provides that the exact amount of a bond Issue must be specifically stated on the ballot and the council has found thl Impossible. It Is In order to remove this serious handi cap that the special elections are to be held, one to revise the present charter and the others to re-submit the two bonding propositions. At the council meeting Monday an ordinance giving the council author ity to Invoke the Initiative and refer endum lu submitting a revised chart er passed Its first reading. The sec tions to be revised are those dealing with the Issuance of bonds for the purpose of constructing sewers and building and owning the city water works. This will probably delay the con struction of the proposed water work and paving of the streets for another season, ulthough some work ou the waterworks may be done late thl summer.
