Special to Times Republican.
Vinton, April 27.-Captain Edward "A.
Murphy. commander of the local Ma
tional Guard company. stationed here.
has prepared statement which he has
presented to the business men, as to the
manner he wishes to raise funds for
the erection of an armory, to cost at
least $4,000.
His plan is to sell preferred stock in
the building. on which there shall be
paid interest at the rate of six per
cent per annum. The annual allowance
made by the state for the rent and sup
port Of the armory is $500, SO after the
payment of $500 interest there would
remain $500 for heat and light. In
addition to this allowance there is a
payment for miscellaneous purposes
which will amount to $500. This sum,
together with the allowance of $500 for
rent, viii be used for the maintenance
of the building, sinking fund, and the
payment of interest, SO far as may be
necessary.
A considerable amount of stock has
already been sold and it is expected
that the balance will be disposed of in
short time.
