Monzrglian demanded competitive bids from banking institutions for the ‘$50,000 cer-N ti \ of indebtedness, author- ized by a resolution of the Com- mon ‘Council-, May 22. The chief officer said that this was the first time in the city’s his- tory -that bids were asked for on short-term loans, which resulted in a drop of 2.5 per cent in the rate of inter t «paid ‘by the city. Mr. Moxiagian further added that the city saved $1200 by this move. and‘ that in the future bids will be called for on all certi cates. “Formerly it has been the custom to allow the city's depos- itory, the American Bank, to purchase short-terms notes at 4 per cent. In the case of the $50- 000 WPA note, which although written for 90 days must be ex- tended until next year because we wiil have no funds with which to retire it, bids will be asked of all Western New York banking houses. EMERGENCY j LAUNCHED BY RED GROSS ~(:i=tak and Kaspr.zak :‘Ma:y Pay 3400 Court costs ‘.3v:¥.\v Avery, Boda, Chamberlain Head Staggering from theeffects of 10 reverse court decisions, eight of -w‘hich were rendered Wednes- day afternoon in Supreme Court by Justice Almon W. Lytle, the City of I.ackzu\=am1a must contin- ue its court battles in 53 more cases, according to an announce- ment made today ‘by Attorney I?‘1'ancis J. Riordan.

The annual Financial ‘Cam-' paign of the Lackawanna, Boy Scouts will open Monday even- ing at 8 o'clock in the Kinglits of Columbus Club rooms when the leaders, captains and workers of. the city’s 14 troops will meet to discuss further plans for the drive for $2500 which will close June 12‘. An. emergency fund drive will be lzumched by the‘ committees of Lackau-'2u1na and Blasdell Red Cross to enrich their coffers which are being ra‘pid1_\-' depleted‘ by European War victims. Donations in I.ackawanna can be made at the ;\I2n'ine Trust Co., Ridge Road and Victory avenue, American Bank, Ridge‘ Road and the Fire Iiuuse, South Park ave- nue. Seven of the -rulings given Wednesday were in favor of city employees and officials in their .pe2'empto2‘y mandamus proceed- ings seeking salary restorations, \‘.»hen the niilzncipality failed to answeir the complaints and sub- sequently defaulted in the judge- ments. _'[‘=he speakers of the evening will be Judge Joseph R. 1\1cCann John P. Osborne and Charles Norton, president of the Erie County Council. District Chairman Julius Boda and Dwight Chamberlain are co- chazirmen of the drive while Fire Chief Robert M. Avery is in charge of the special gifts com- mittee. The Blasdell quota is set at The rlrlve will be held f1‘0m Jnue June 3 to 5. Mrs. .\‘Ia1'k Chaplin is $220. The <Iri\'e will be ‘held from assist-ed by Mrs. William Fell, Mrs. Cl1m'los Huesch, Mrs. Sam- uel Piper, Mrs. Elmer Cline, Mrs. William Sadler and Mrs. Elmer Taylor. '4 ‘ £491, Pillion Fully Compensated The remaining‘ ruling‘ ordered the Connnon Council to fully compensate Tax Attorney John R. Pillion to date at the rate of salary pmvidecl in the 1940 bud- get. With the inaugural meeting the -Council passed at resolution reducing Mr. PiI1iun’s wages from $4500 to a duilar a year. Majors have been chosen to represent each ward in the city. Wayne Chatfleld Taylor, Eur- opean delegate of the American Red Cross, telephuned National Chairman Norman H. Davis from Paris: “It is impossible to exaggerme the refugee problem. There are prolmhly million men, women and L-hildren home- less in Ilelgium, I\'et'herlands, and France. The impact is stag- g*e1'inp;. but the Red Cross is in there pitching.\ “Only two bids were received, 2 per cent from the Manufactur- ers’ and Traders Trust Company and 1.5 per cent from the Marine Trust Company. The certi has been sold to the low bidder. In veiw of this saving: of $1200 on this note, it would seem ad- visable to make similar revisions in all city banking policies. “Mr. Monaghan explained.

Nine sensational speed events have been carded by Frecl J. Decker of Rochester, who is the zone supervisor of the American Automobile Association for the circuit that includes the city of Buffalo.

The‘ city has con- structed a 42-foot wide asphalt track in the stadium, which gives reason to except p;reater speed than ever was negotiated on any other surface. Owing to the extreme danger from ma- chine crack-ups and wheels fly- ing from speeding autos, the [stadium connnission has t'orbid- .den the sale of the first rows 'to spectators, thus affording se- |curity from danger. I Ambulances will be stationed ‘at the stadium during all the lraces, while men with fire extin- guishers will be assigned around t-he oval in case any machine bursts into flames. The fact that these races have received the of- ; sanction of the A. A. A. means they will be strictly on .the level and that in each event the drivers will be “shoot»ing” for the money prizes offered to first, second, tihird and fourth in each race.
