I, 1 'A' THE . OREGON . DAILY JOURNAL,1 PORTLAND, TUESDAY , EVENING, MARCH " 28.- 1911 1 ' E SUBTERFUGE, S25,000 QEPriSIT Mayor Simon and City Auditor ; Barbur ; Ridicule 'Argument :;i of Farson & Sons, Who Re ; : fuse Bridge Bonds. "Wetl,v according to that opinion near ly : every bridge across the Willamette .''river within' the city, limits wee built Illegally,' declared City Auditor Bar , bur after reading over the discussion of , the Broadway bridge bond Issue, as it . appeared , In a statement, of Hawkins, . Delafleld & Longfellow, of New York, ; attorneys for Farson & Sons, which firm refused to accept a $500,000 Is sue of bonds, basing its refusal on the advice of the attorneys aforementioned. The city still holds the ' certified .check given by Farson & Sons, in the l sura oti26.000 to guarantee good faith. The company has exhibited no little anxiety to recover this-check but Mayor Simon and Mr. Barbur are determined to retain the check until the bond buy era , show something more than the flimsy opinion submitted by. their at- , torneys as a reason v for the rejection 91 me securuies. .. : soond Suit Fwidlnf. The main contention of the New York attorneys is that, while the first suit attacking the legality of the 1500,000 bond Issue was decided in favor of the city by both the circuit and the su preme court, there is still pending a second suit. Involving a point of law not yet decided by the supreme court. I The point at Issue referred to Is the alleged claim by obstructionists that section 118H of the city charter pro Tided that the bonds shall bear 4 per . cent Interest and that since the paper was sold for 13.80 the rate of Interest was In effeot raised, contrary to the charter amendment ,' "Such m claim Is absurd," said Mayor Simon this morning. "Why. If" It had any force, whatever, the city would be ' powerless to make any improvements when market conditions preclude the possibility of obtaining bids at par or better." "Mere Subterfuge." Another reason given by the attor neys for their peculiar opinion, Is that they did not. receive a complete city charter, though they telegraphed for one. City Auditor Barbur says that . one of the first things he did after the bond Issue had been awarded to Farson & Sons was to send them a copy of the charter. He regards this part of the attorneys statement as a mere sub terfuge. "It is true." concludes the declaration of the Gotham lawyers, "that there Is no express prohibition in section llSfe of the city charter against the sale of bonds below par. However, there is no decision of the Onejron courts on this question and the decisions In other , states are conflicting. And while there Is yet pending litigation In which this point we have raised Is undecided we ' cannot give a favorable opinion on the uonas." I In the opinion of leading attorneys of the city, p arson & Sons can be forced f to take the bond Issue or to forfeit their l, certified chpek unless they can give j, a more valla reason for their refusal ( liarles W. Fulton, formerly United Mates senator from Oregon and now at h torney for the Mount Hood Railway & . rower company, which must uso the ; Broadway bridge in order to gain ac ' cet-s to the heart of tne city, has vol lingered his services to aid in com spelling the hond buying firm to keep y good faith and accept the 1500,000 of ' uoncs ror which they bid.
