THAT LIZARD.

As YOU sit at n table in the roof garden on
top Of a twenty-story building, enjoying a bird
and the cool breezes from the Bay, the air sud
denly grows fetid and hot. You glance around
angrily in search Of the COMPOUNDED alien who Is
being served with one Of his native garlic dishes
and discover a vast head peering over the
parapet. Up from the abyss an enormous snout
has thrust itself. oh It's only hungry ex-

then with a start you realize that you have been

ming about the discovery Of the skeleton of

for the ring one hundred thousand pounds and
measured 314 feet in length.
When we ponder over this prehlstoran

are grateful to our ancestors for having alb

life would be a dull march from cradle to grave.
No muclraker could arouse the masses to frenzy
with tales about the trust octopus" No lingo
could scare anybody with shrleks about the
Chinese Dragon and the Yellow Peril And

civ readily accents. So If the bonds are put
I'D at auction first under usual conditions of the
money market, only a small amount will be left
for private sale.
The Governor in his message regarding the
bill alluded to the possibility of collision, and
if there We're a private sale OF bonds subject
to no restrictions they would probably all go
into the hands of a political ring at price
which would enable the political underwriters
to make a point or two in the open market.
II is to prevent such cOlusive practices as this
that the public sale of bonds at auction Is the
prevailing custom in this country. However,
the chances Of collision restricted under
the new bill as Governor Hughes pointed out
In his message, by the requirement that they
must first be offered publicly and the further
requirement that they must not be sold below
par If they will not sell above par at pubic
auction no political rlngster will take them at
par for profit.
The bill Is an experiment, and trying 1t can
do no harm, for we do not see that it will alter
the usual procedure In ne disposal Of city
bonds under ordinary conditions. Just now,
when the larger investor IS tempted into other
and more lucrative fields, it will show whether
or not there is an undiscovered market for the
bonds among the small investors who usually
trust the investing Of their funds to savings
banks. If this class forms the habit of buying
city bones through the medium OF private 'sdles
it will probably not cease to be interested when
the bonds are usually disposed Of at auction,
and thus the market for city bonds may be
widened. Meanwhile If the new eXpedient does
not result in the sale of the City's paper the
city has legal authority to raise its interest to
the rates which the market demands. There
Is no special wisdom In offering bonds at
per cent and having them Just barely refused,
when by raising the rate to AZ they could be
sold at such a premium rs would make the
actual interest rate paid by the CITY only the
shade over + per cent that the market de-
mands.

Az EXPERIMENT Is BOND SELLING

The news that the city by reason of its fail
ure to sell its bonds is Bard pressed to pay the
claims Of public works contractors and other
small bills for items outside the regular APP
preparations lends special interest to the pas
sage of the law authorizing the private sale of
bonds over the counter This is confessedly
an experiment. VIII it apen a market for the
citys securities now uH@alable because Of the
high rate Of interest demanded in the money
market? 1t is worth trying. because no one can
tell without such q test whether or not the
habit Of bond buying caa be cultivated among
persons of comparatively small means. Such
Investors naturally are Tot much attracted by
iufrequent public auctiG1s, but IL city bonds
were on sale regularly over the counter with
out commissions to brokers they might be in
clned to purchase them. The bonds Will natu-
rally compete for such Investors with the saw
ings banks, which at present have decided adj
vantage. The possible Investor will think first
of the savings banks from force of habit and
while the banks are pSylng per cent the
same interest as the bofsls, they Will be more
attractive because an account with a savings
bank can be turned INFO cash more quickly
and readily than a bond and at no cost, while
the sale Of bond costs Brokers fee. On the
other hand, savings bank interest Is subject to
change and IS now unusually high, while of
course the interest on bond is fixed 1t is i'm
possible TO predict how The small investor will
regard this new opportunity but this is an
unusually good time 10 test his readiness TO
buy bonds at a slightly higher price than the
large investor will pay FOR them. At the re-
cent sale the bids were close to par the mini
mum which the Controller accept under
the law. II the small infestor will pay a shade
more than is offered in the omen market the
bonds are his over the counter.
1t will proba bly, only tn under conditions like
the present that there will be much resort to
private sale of bonds, K It should prove sue
cessful; for the law provides that the bonds
must first be offered at auction. Under usual
conditions. wheD bonds are offered at auction,
the issue is oversubscribed at prices which the
