That money is worth at least six
per cent anywhere now and that IL
will do just as much good in Chick
asha as anywhere else, was the de-
cision of the city dads last night when
they turned down proposition from
eastern holders OF Chickasha bonds,
to allow this city to take up $4,000
worth OF the paper at lis face value
with accrued interest.
The bonds are five per centers and
run for a number of years. There is
probably sufficient money available in
the city bank roll to lift this amount,
but at this time the dads think II un-
wise to take such steps. The money
Is distributed among the various banks
OF the city and is drawing four per
cent interest Also 1t is here at home.
