HOPE LOCAL MEN
WILL TAKE BONDS

Bids for the $4,000 bond issue for
refunding water bonds, viii be open
ed at the City Treasurer's Office at
noon on next Wednesday These
bonds are interest bearing at 4 and
1-2 per cent and local bankers are
expected to bid for this small block.
A peculiar situation when bids for
Wilmington bonds are opened is that
the best bid received usually comes
from out of town bond buyers. and
in many instances local financial in
situations fail to even bid. After pur-
chasing the bonds these outside com
panies come back to this market and
dispose of them to local investors.
