PREMIER OLIVER CALLS SESSION OX OCTOBER 18 Date Fixed So As to Conflict as Little as Possible with Federal Election Issues VICTORIA. September 16—Premier Oliver has summoned the members of the legislature for a special fall session, to open on October 18. The early opening, the premier declared, if for the purpose of having as little conflict aa possible between the session of the legislature and the activities accompanying the federal \ election. The chief matter will be the discussion of taxation and the passing of the budget. The special council meeting held on Monday night to consider the at-J titude of the National Bond Corpor-( ation, in failing to make good the \ purchase of the City's bonds at the; price it agreed to pay, left the matter ; in the hands of Mayor Wilson to deal with. The motion dealing with this authorized the mayor to ascertain the amount of unsold bonds and then j request that these, together with a ; cheque for interest and for the bonds disposed of, be placed in the Royal j Bank, Vancouver. The city can then j borrow on theBe bonds as security until their sale is completed through ' another source. In its letter of the first instance, questioning the bond sale which the City council considered completed in every particular save the trading of the bond concern and the remittance of the money by them, the National people state that they have aold $25,-000 of these bonds but they were "quite frank" in saying that they could not sell the remainder, aggregating about $30,000, for the stipulated sum of 8 5. These people sent the city a cheque for $10,000 on! August 11 on account of sales. The bond people's contention is I that the delay in printing the bonds, caused by the printers' strike, spoiled the sale at 85, as the market fell in the meantime. The solution to the problem, they state in their letter of August 24, is a cheaper price, and they ask the council to consider a price "around 80", which would make the whole block average 8 2.50. The bond house states that it has spent more money on travelling expenses than can possibly be made out of the deal. In a later letter, dated on the seventh instant, the bond house says: "In view of the fact that the bonds were not saleable until July, we do not feel bound to this price, (85) and therefore the City, of Prince George will have to bear a "portion of the loss." If the council does not agree to take a lower price the bond house states that it will have to return the unsold bonds. The mayor and council are unable to reconcile the statements of the bond house with the fact that it purchased the bonds at 85 and because circumstances intervened which pre-; vented the actual possession of the ; printed bonds it feels no obligation to complete its purchase.
