3 CORPORATIONS
ASK RIGHT FOR
BOND ISSUE
Disregard Slow Condition of
Money Market, Which Pre-
CIudes Early Sales.

Despite the condition of the money
market, which precludes the likelihood
of successful flotation at this time of
new securities, three corporations ap-
peared before the Georgia railroad COM
mission today and one will appear to-
morrow. asking authority to issue
bonds notes or stocks.
The belief seems to be that the pres
ent conditions will be but temporary.
and that it will be possible to make
fiotations at attractive prices a little
later, when the European situation is
cleared up and this nation has settled
down under the new administration.
Because of increasing demands for
light and power in Waycross, Ga. and
indicated future demands, the Ware
County Light and Power Company is
asking the commission for the right to
issue $180,000 additional per cent first
mortgage bonds, of which $4,000 pro-
ceeds will be expended on a 500-kilo-
watt steam turbine, with a battery of
three boilers, the remainder to pay off
Indebtedness already incurred. Out
standing issues of this company total
$320,0O0 The total, if the increase is
permitted, will be 100000.
The Franklin Light and Power Com
pany of Franklin county, seeks the
right to issue S15O,O0O common stock.
Water sites, partially completed plants,
contracts and franchises of the j. 3.
McCreary Company are to be turned
over to the Franklin Company for 1,494
shares of this stock. The contracts and
franchises are in Royston, Canton,
Hartwell, Lavonia, Bowersville, Carnes-
vile and Bowman The proposed issue
seems to be in reality a reorganization
of the j. B. McCreary Company.
