of the etate and not the federal court
waa paramount after the case had three
times gona to tha court of appeals,
which ordered a new trial each time.

tha present trial held before a federal
court, advancing for their argument

Mr. Barber will at once advertise- for

will give aa opportunity to test the mat

Possibly on . of the members of the

which the bonds may be sold. It Is not
expected that there will be any loss of
time in disposing of the bonds.
Both former City Attorney McNary
