Patterson of the firm of w. II. Patterson
& Co, which bought this issue, said Fri
day, when asked If the bonds had yet been
delivered: mo. They win bear date and
be delivered July /. Though they cannot be
delivered till that time, we have disposed
of the greater part of them and will likely
sell the balance before they come into our
hands" When asked when the state would
issue more bonds Mr.. Patterson said:
unless some special and improbable
emergency arises not for many years and
IA dor To- zfV11r frrr
fund OF 100000 per annum is created and
this will take care of all maturing bonds
for some 20 years. Before that time ar
rives the increased values of property
viii make it an easy matter to provide a
larger sinking fund which will meet the
whole debt as 1t falls due. A market for
the bonds IS found both locally or ia other
sections. Some of them go in Atlanta, 9TH
ers away from home points, said Mr.. Pat
terson. 1.-THE bulk of the maturing sevens
are held in Georgia, the whole amount be-
ing SOP 900. The new tours sold us amount
to only $3.50, 600 the difference, 1912, coo being
provided out of the sinking fund in the
treasury and the premium we will pay on
the tours In addition to this sum- large
part Of which will be paid to Atlanta peo-
pie. there VIII be further disbursements
by the state, the city and other local cor
p0rations for interest and dividends which
VIII increase the whole to about 81. 600 coo.
Much Of this money will Immediately seek
reinVestment and even now we feel its in
fuence in the hrmer prices a which sound
securities are held.
