ANCIENT RoME's LIBRARIES.

The libraries of ancient Rome were immense and splendid. Lucullus, whose name is associated with table luxuries. expended much of his wealth on books. His library. says Plutarch, had walks. galleries and cabinets open to all visitors. Julius Caesar proposed to open this library definitely to the public
 How were these vast libraries. in ad- dition to the bookshops, filled? With his trained staff of readers and tran scribers. a publisher could turn out an edition of any work at very cheap rates and almost at a moments notice. There was no initial expense of typesetting before a single copy could be produced, no ruinOus extras in the shape Of print CTS corrections. The manuscript came from the author: the publisher handed it over co his slaves and if book of modest dimensions, the complete edi- ton could be ready if necessary with in twenty-four hours. Actually. then, books were produced and sold more easily and quickly in ancient Rome than they are in modern London T P's Weekly.

BIG BOND ISSUE
 OF p. 6. 8 E. CO.
THE SUM OF s1,25OOoO HAS BEEN
 SECURED
Confidence Of Eastern Capitalists in
 the Valley

As a result of negotiations which have been pending for some months the Pacific Gas x Electric company has completed arrangements for the sale of d new bond issue which will bring an enormous amount of eastern money into local circulation, and provide capital for the extension of the public service to keep pace with the growth Of Phoenix for apptoXi
 mately the next twenty years.
 The new bond issue is for a period of twenty years and provides for the large total of $l,25O.OOO.OO. Of this amount, sufficient new bonds will be disposed of at once to retire all of the present bonds and notes of the company. and the remaining bonds will be issued from time To time over the next twenty years on the basis of 75 per cent of actual cash expenditures for further improve ments and extensions.
 Mir A. ". Ballard, president of the compan,, states that the new bond mortgage is in course of preparation and will be filed within d few days, and that all possible steps are being taken to hasten the matter. As the Arizona law provides that the au- thorized debt of a corporation such as the Pacific Gas & Electric Company may not exceed twO-thirds of its authorized capital stock, an amend ment to the articles of incorporation is being filed legaliZing the neces- sary increased indebtedness and in the amount of authorized capital stock. though t is not the intention of the company to actually issue any new stock. The amendment to the articles of incorporation provides sui ficient latitude to the company SD that it is now in position to increase its physical growth as the popUla- ton of Phoenix and Maricopa coun- ty make necessary.
 The sale of the bonds in the east means large amount of eastern money will become available for eX penditures in Phoenix within a com paratiyely short period
 One of the features of the negoti ations which have been carried on by the officials of the Pacific Gas X Electric Company is the exporting of the commercial and agricultural pos abilities of Phoenix by representa- tives of the great bond houses of the east. The fact that these eX- perts have made an analytical study of the physical resources of Mari copa county before arranging to float s125O,OO0.OO in bonds logically results in putting the seal of finan- cial approval upon all conservative Investments in this city and county.
 No legitimate enterprise can there fore fail to share in the general ben eft which will be derived from a financial transaction which can be regarded as establishing for this com munity a financial status throughout the banking world.
 The arrangement above referred to is without doubt one of the most i'm pOrtant that has transpired in Ari- zona for some time and it's imme- diate and future benefits will be felt by all who are interested in the growth and development of this city and the surrounding territory.

Plenty of Amusement of All Sorts AT

Cool Restaurants as

Washington may not be an ideal sum-
mer resort, but the many thousands who
have to spend all or the greater part of
the summer in the city manage to have a
pretty good time of it, after all.
When c7s compares the opportunities
for recreation, both outdoor and indoor,
offered by this city with the summer
dullness Of ALMOST every other city of
the same size, it is easy to reconcile ones
self to a vacationless summer in Wash
lngton.

because you have to spend the summer
in this dull old hole" as you are pleased
to call it, stop growing long enough some
evening to take a look around you and
see how Washington's summer-bound
population is enjoying itself.
Perhaps you have wondered where on
earth all those people are going that the
evening cars should be crowded, no mat
ter in what direction they are running.
