BOND AGENT HERE,

S. H. Splitter of the firm of Splitter 4
Co. of Toledo, Ohio, and New York, came
down from Houston this morning to talk
to the mayor and finance committee on the
question OF the coming issue of sewerage
and street Improvement bonds. Mr.. Spit
ger represented one of the bidders ON the
bonds which Gay 6. Co. refused to take on
account Of an alleged irregularity in their
issue. He says it was misfortune to
Galveston that the bonds were not sold at
that time or earlier. as the money market
has undergone an important change dur
ing the last four months. Cities that have
been selling their bonds at enormous pre-
miums have been compelled to take small
premiums and in most instances to sell
them at par. This is due to the fact that
money in New York has been ranging
from to 100 per cent. This of course re-
fers to money on call.
Mr.. Splitter, while he was not much in
clined to get into details, seemed to think
that Galveston will find out that the mar
ket for bonds is not as good now as 1t was
when its last batch was put up for sale.
In fact. he asserts that Galveston will
never receive as much premium again for
her bonds as was offered in Gay g. Co. S
