The board of control has decided,"
said Controller Ainev, “to ask the
legislature for powcr to use the loan-

oi the construction of municipal ing

will refuse the city’s consent,
“The controllers would have voted
money in the budget for this ps,-_
pose had it been possible, but the
circumstanccss were such that this
could not be done.
“What will interest thc public, 1
am sure, is that tlic'honrd of con-

money from the loan fund so that the

(lontinuing, Controller Ainey said
