MAY SELL VIRGINIA BONDS.
State Treasurer Block Plans to Raise
Money for State.


ST. Paul, May 25.-State Treasurer
Julius Fl. Block has under considera-
tion a recommendation to the board OF
investment of the sale of all or part
of the states holdings of the Virginia
bonds. The state holds $2,145,OOO or
these bonds, and all except $4,000 OF
them mature in 1891, with an option
on the part of the State of Virginia to
redeem them at par after 1906. These
bonds bear interest at the rate OF
three CD per cent, payable seminar
nually. There is a great demand for
loans from the state from school dis
tricts, municipalities and counties
for the purpose of building school
houses, court houses. constructing
drainage bitches, etc., and it is at
present impossible to supply all these
calls. These loans pay the state
per cent interest, or 33 1-3 per cent
more than the Virginia bonds bring.
Sir. Blocks object in this disposition
of the bonds is thus not only to aid
the municipalities and school districts
in our Cwn state, but it would also re-
suit in a much greater revenue to the
state school, university and other
trust funds. now holding these bonds.
