GRAND FALLS BOND
ISSUE FINANCED
Chicago Firm Takes Sale of
Bonds For Big Devel-
opment Project.

Pecos. Texas. Jan st is reported
from Grand Falls, Texas. which is
located below Barstow in Ward county.
on the Pecos river, that the Grand Falls
Mutual Irrigation corporation, recent
" chartered with s65O,0OO capital, has
made final arrangements with the firm
of Adams, Candee & Co., of Chicago. to
place the entire bond issue necessary
to complete the reservoirs and canals
provided for under the charter Of the
consolidated company. The bonds will
be placed on the market Jan. 10. and,
it il reported, the Chicago financiers
claim they will be sold by Jan. 80.
The various smaller irrigation com
NAMES at and near Grand Falls formed
a consolidation and were chartered as
one company in 1911. Since that time
all necessary surveys have been made
and considerable work done, but IN
forseen difficulties temporarily held up
the work, Notwithstanding the fact that
If had been financed. Now the COM
pIetion of the work is assured
The company will be one of the
largest operating anywhere in the
southwest It viii so reconstruct and
enlarge present systems as to be able
Ia take care Of a greatly enlarged acre
age estimated at more than 10000
acres. The whole enterprise means
that a town of considerable size win
spring up at Grand Falls.
Bond Issue Discussed BY Link.
Harold 3. Link, secretary of the
Reeves County GOOD Roads association,
which organization has been instru-
mental in having an election called for
precincts one and four in Reeves
County. Texas, which includes the city
of Pecos, for the purpose Of voting on
a 100000 good roads bond issue,
states that tax Of only - 1-2 cents,
levied upon the property of the district
included in voting district No. J. will
nav the interest and sinking fund on
the bonds at the present assessed
valuation of the district, which is
about S6,25O,OOO.
he states that more than so per
cent of the property included in the
territory covered is owned by nom
residents and brings out the fact that
while the bonds will bear interest at
five per cent, the money from the sale
placed on deposit in a local depOsitary
while not in use will bear interest at
the rate of Z is per cent; also that
such interest will accrue on the sink
ing fund itself, and that while it would
take very close approximation to
ascertain just what the bonds Will cost
after 40 years shall have elapsed it
would appear that they will cost the
county practically nothing in excess of
the 500, 900 principal when the inter-
est on sinking fund and amounts un-
expended from time to time is taken
into consideration
Ii is believed the issue will carry by
a majority over the two-thirds neces-
sary vote.
