I,. Sutton plans to pass Friday on the validity of the $243,000 issue of river drive bonds, which is now being questioned by bond houses which purchased them and now demand a return of their deiwslt on the bonds from the city. In an ordinance calling the election the city council, on the advice of Cor poration Council I-ambert, inserted a provision requiring that a vote of 60 per cent of the voters was necessary to the issue. At the election, the pro-' posal receiver! more than a majorlty vote, but less than a 60 per cent vote. In the meantime it was discovered that the law required only a majority vote to issue the bonds and, accord ingly, the city council declared the issue carried, printed the bonds and sold them to bond houses, subject to the approval of legal counsel. Validity Suit Started. J. G. Thompson of New York re cently announced that he would not approve the bonds without a. decision upholding the issue by the Nebraska supreme court. The Omaha Real Ins tate board then, through John Rasp and Attorney J. P. Breen, brought action to enjoin the issuance of the bonds, thus bringing the matter to a head as a means of getting a decision on their validity. In his argument before Judge Sut ton Thursday morning Attorney Breen contended that the 60 per cent clause Inserted in. the ordinance au thorizing the bonds was Inducement to the passnge of the ordinance by the city council, and consequently that the whole ordinance falls, and consequently there was no authority to hold an election. No Voting ower, Claim. He also argued that, no power to vote bonds Is accorded the people of Omaha unless the city council first finds that the property, If the costs are more than $100,000, will permit of the levy of assessments for special benefits on abutting property. In reply, City Attorney Van Dusen argued that the 60 per cent clause In the ordinance was not an Induce ment to the city council to pass the ordinance authorizing the bond Issue, pointing out that the council declared the bond issue carried even though the majority for It was not 60 per cent. < “Floradora” Revived by Norma Talmadge vived in Norma Talmadge's new pho toplay, ‘The Lady."
