this bond fund, as shown by Mr.. Butler,
will give s2l30Oo for the redemption OF
many small outstanding securities.
This will save us a lot OF interest
money" said Mr.. Butler. And his COLI

business proposition, These intersection
bonds are for twenty years al - per
cent.
Usually at this time the council issues
street Improvement bonds, but dlspenses
with it now because, as Mr. Butler ex-

funds, bond buyers would not be eager
for the securities on which they had to
await proceeds.
