PROF. ARMSTRONG DISCUSSES
BROKEN BANK AND BOND ISSUE

, Editor Pensacola Journal.
The statement just made public by
the receivers Of the Pensacola State
Bank must have put all serious citi-
When they read of the plans of our
commissioners to sell the bonds, au-
thorized last spring, there is yet more
ground for serious thought.
[ quote from paper of recent date
that seems to paraphrase Commissioners
Johnson: at is argued that the need
of municipal docks overbalances the
several thousand dollars that the city
may or may not lose by Immediately
placing the bonds"
Now this careless disregard of "sev-
eral thousand dollars is rather shock
ing to our sense of values these days.
The public is gravely doubling as to
how much of the S165,000 the city can
receive from the late wreck. The as
surance that q suit has been instituted
against the two bonding companies for
S125.0o0 (not the entire $165,000 in
volVed) does not reaSsure at all. 1t
is commonly believed that the liability
of the surety companies ended No
vember 1 or 2. All hope the conten-
ton Of the city attorney is correct
and that we are at least partially in
sured against loss.
But, even so, there is a difference
between the amount of city deposits
and the security claimed of 100000
1t seems a remarkable fact that out
of S270, 600 deposits in the bank, S165.
0O0, or some so per cent Of the whole,
should have belonged to the city, and
it seems all the more remarkable when
the preCarious condition of the bank
has been the subject of common COM
ment for months.
One cannot help thinking of these
extraordinary facts when it Is pro-
posed to sell bonds, even if at Il loss
of several thousand dollars
The city seems to have a security
against this new loss The opinion OF
the bond attorneys, Dillon, Thomson
and Clay, as stated in their letter to
our mayor, is that the bonds. may be
sold at not less than the par value
thereof" Now, the state of New York
is just marketing through it's comp
troIler-not through a broker-some
fifty year bonds at the same interest
ours are to bear, 4 1-2 per cent. and
with no securing good prospect of get
ting much above par.
New York city bonds with forty-four
years 10 run are quoted at 103 and
less. and these bear the same interest
as ours, 4 IL per cent.
With such market after paying
brokerage commissions, what chance
have we to get a price that will make
the bonds valid and legally binding?"
It would be interesting to have an esti-
mate of just how much we might
profitably lose on the sale of our thirty
year bonds.
And, Mr.. Editor, it would be more
interesting still to know how many of
those who voted for the bond issue
would like to see those bonds sold now
and have the proceeds turned over to
our present city commissioners, after
our recent experience with their finan-
cial mana cement.
This is one of those questions that
is above personal considerations; that
should be discussed in and out of press.
Yours truly,
If. CLAY ARMSTRONG.

include the removal OF iron work put in

on an insecure foundation have threatened
