Introduction of a $245,000 bond issue ordinance to retire 118 court Judgments against the city Monday night at city council meeting brough* from Councilmen George A. Henry warning to “go slow” in issuing bonds KM the city reach its bonded indebtedness limit. Questioning Francis Coleman, deputy controller, Henry learned that, including ordinances passed Monday night, ine city council this year has authorized bonds totalling $130,000, with another $245/500 issue pending. Coleman said the council issued $7C5,000 bends last year, retiring $430,000, the same amount that is to be retired this year. The city general has approximately $11,200,000 bonds outstanding, the park and sa-itary departments each having approximately $5,500,000 bonds outs andimr, Coleman told Henry. Inherited Indebtedness “It, won't take long to eat up our $1,000,000 bonding margin remaining,” Henry remarked. Coleman explained that the adtnlnisl ration inherited $507,000 indebtedness certificates from the previous administration, and that to reduce interest costs these notes had been changed to bonds, adding that, in reality the administration had retired more of its own indebtedness than it had issued last year. The $245,000 bond issue to retire court judgments includes many debts inherited from the previous administration. Outstanding items in the list of debts were: Indianapolis Water Company, $114,000; city hospital supplies, $50,000, and Indianapolis Power & Light Com pany, $78,500.

ALFONSU WANTS HIS FOLLOWERS TO BIOE TIME Exiled King Is Against Uprising in His Name, He Asserts. By I’nitrd Press MADRID, May s.—Former King Alfonso was quoted in an interview with the representative of the newspaper ABC today as saying he had “decided absolutely to place no obstacles in the path of the Republican government, which for me and for all is now the government of Spam.” “I am sincere and my action in the future will demonstrate my loyalty to this proposition,” the exiled king was quoted as saying to Juan Ignacio Lucatena, director of the newspaper, in an interview in London. “I want all persons, whether they be monarchists or republicans, to know that I will be sincere, no matter how my words may be misinterpreted,” Alfonso said. “Monarchists who wish to follow my lead not only should avoid raising obstacles for the Republican government, but should support it in whatever may be patriotic measures.” “During the last year of my reign there were many difficulties put before my government. Contrary to the actions of others, I never would approve of exciting the public against the authorities or the government’s agents. “Nor would he gamble with the sorrows of the Fatherland to decrease the prestige of the new regime. “The monarchy was ended in i Spain by suffrage and, if some time in the future, it returns, it will be by the same voluntary action of the citizens.”
