Opinion * ] on Stnto Auditor Heiiton'H
Ueruinl to It-gliti-r Thnrn
News was received from Lincoln yostcrday
thnt State Auditor Benton had refused to
register the Omaha school bonds voted ut
the last olcction because the proposition
submitted did not provide for the urnuul
levy of a tax to pay the interest on the
bonds An examination shows thnt no auoh
provision is mudo In the proposition
In reply to a question by a reporter , City
Treasurer Rush said it was usually custom
ary to Insert a clause in n bond proposition
covering this point , ulthouph ho did not
think it wus necessary Ho thoueht that u
question of this kind , avon though it should
bo explained away , would sorlously affect
the sale of the bonds
Mr Lee Gstolle , attorney of the hoard of
education , who , with Mr Popplcton , chair
man of the committco on Judiciary , had
druwn up the proposition , stated that it
had been carefully compared with
pruvlous proportions , and liu thought it
compiled literally with the law Ho wus of
the opinion that an omission of this kind
would not Invalidate the bonds The propo *
sltion did not provldo for the paving ol the
principal of the bonds , bo said , aud why
should it provldo for the payment nf the in-
terostl
President Goodman said that heretofore
the board had been paying the Interest on
bonds out ot tbo sinking fund , und be did
not bollovo thnt It wns noenssary to make
a special provision In this case Ho sttlod
tbat ho would call a meeting of tbo board at
11 o'clock this murning to consider this im
portant mnttor ,
