whole Issue OfS33, 900 Placed with Mar
tinsburg People.
Tue entire 1873. 600 issue of city bonds
for the construct of the new water
system has been disposed OF, and the
finance committee of the cou neil feels
highly g-atified at the result of the
effort made to place the bonds among
home investors. All the bonds were
sold at par value. and as they bear
interest at the rate of A per cent, and
are exempt from municipal taxation,
thew make pretty comfortable inves-
ment.
When the bonds were first offered
for sale some trouble was anticipated
in disposing of them. Offers for only
81, 000 worth we're received when they
we're advertised. although one or two
out-of town firms offered to take til
whole issue under conditions which
the council would not agree TO. There
seemed to be a stringencv in the money
mar et, and as the council needed a
Considerable sum to meet obligations
then due, same anxiety was felt as to
how this matter would terminate.
However, the members of the finance
committee believed that the bono s
vonld find ready salo in Martins
burg as soon as investors could be
madp ACQUAINTED with the advantages
OF the proposition. and the result
shows the wisdom of withholding the
bonds pending the investigationof local
capital The bonds went at the rate
of abont $3, 00n dav, and in sums of
from 81 900 to $4,000. The council
now has ample funds to go ahead and
complete the water system. and what
ever benefit to be derived fiom the
bon DIS has been given to MartiDsburg
capital.

Doller said the men should return as
individuals, not as union men.
A member of the union stated that
