to tako a loss of this amount about
a year ago, -duo to thu American
National withdrawing its bid on
unit 3D. 3CA, uud 3? improve
ment bonds duo to advlco of its
attorney that the bond proceedings
were not regular. Subsequently
tho sauio bouda under identical pro
ceedings wero sold tu a syndicate
of Portland banks for approximate
ly (7.UU0 less than the homo bank
first bid, after pausing tbo smiting
of Teal. Wlnfrce, Johnson, and
McCulloch. I'orlland bond experts.
"I am convinced tho rhauco of
collecting this amount is good,"
Carnahan suld, "uud In this opinion
t am backed up by a number of
other Klamath attorneys."
No action or no intimation of
probable action was made by the
counclluien lust night but it was
