HIGHWAY BONDS DIFFICULTY
State Commission Has Two Methods
of Sale Under Consideration.

State Commission Has Two Methods
Of Sale Under Consideration.
State officials are still wrestling
with the problem of disposing of the
100000 bond issue provided for by
the last legislature for the building
OF state roads. The law providing
for this issue makes it impossible to
sell the bonds for less than par or to
pay q. rate of interest ON them higher
than 4 per cent. 1t has been i'm
possible for State Treasurer Allen to
dispose of the bonds on these terms.
Now it is reported that the bond
market Is even worse than it was in
the spring and that the disposal of
this issue through the ordinary chan
nels Is absolutely out of the question.
Anxious to Get Started.
Because of the keen desire of the
state highway commission for funds
with which to work, two schemes are
under consideration by the state Off

the road bonds could be paid for gu
OF this fund and that no inconveni
ence would result, as the redemption
fund would be replenished from
other sources long before the none,
would be needed for the redemptio,
Of outstanding bonds.
On the contrary. it is argued tina
there would be gain here of | ne

because the law cannot be en-

This morning Emory college opens for
the seventy-seventh session. Unusual
interest attaches to the occasion be-
cause of the happy departure OF having
special opening exercises.
At ten o'clock in Allen Memorial
chapel, the trustees meet in body,
They will be joined by the faculty, the
students and the citizens of Oxford
and Covington. Bishop Gambler will
preside and deliver an address. Judge
Hiram Warner Hill, Asa G. Gambler
and others, will also deliver addresses.
Appropriate music will be furnished
by the talent of the town of Oxford.
Emory college is to be congratulated
on the completion of one of the most
commodious and up-to-date dormitor-
les in the south. 1t is provided with
every known comfort and convenience,
with the single exception of dining
hall. which will be sure to have to fol-
low in a short time. In fact, the plans
for such dining hall have already
geen drawn by Architect Hal Hentz.
Students are arriving on every traw,
in fact their happy songs have enliv-
ened the moonlit streets of the classic
village for more than week, but it is
too early to state definitely what the
enrollmen is to be this term. A safe
prediction is that the college will hold
her own.
