TITUSVILLE BREAKS RECORD IN
SALE OF SCHOOL BONDS

Miami, Dec. ll--If Miami's $780,
successful as was that at Titusville
recently it is estimated by financial
men that they will bring a premium,
on five and ne-hdlf per cent basis
of approximately $4,000. The sale
of 100000 Eau Gallic school dis
trict bonds was warmly contested
by large number of bond houses
from various parts Of the county and
it is almost an assured fact that the
coming sale in this city will be at
tended by many rlore. Ut became
definitely known yesterday that two
large bonding syndicates VIII pid on
the local issue while many more
firms will also be present with the
intention of participating.
Another indication that Miami
will have no troubla in disposing of
the s450,O00 issue is the fact that
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany classes this city as third finan-
cially in this State The New York
d.ife Insurance Co., has already pur-
chased approximately 100000 of
Miam!'s last bond issue and as the
company has only operated in two
other cities in Florida, the people
of Miami should feel elated.
Titusville undoubtedly received
the Eifhest prive ever paid for
school bonds on the East Coast when
the bid of Gunter & Sawyer, of Jack
sonvi!le, which was $l02 ,760, was
accepted after more than two hours
of spirited bidding The bonds were
well advertised and the bonding
houses represented Il: the sale were
BoeIger, Mosher William Co., of
Chicago; Charles II. Kaufman Co.,
of Dayton, o.; Sidney Splitter Co.,
Toledo; G. w. McNcer & Co., of
Chicago: Harold G. Wilson, of New
York. Gunter & Sawyer, Of Jack
sonvllle; Spitzer, Rorick & Co., of
TOLEDO, G. L. Miller & Co., OF Mi
ami; r. M. Grant y Co., of Gin
cinnati, and Powell, Gerard & Co.. Of
New York.
The sale was so well represented
and so many bids were made that
the school trustees refused to accept
the highest bids and called for a sale
at public auction and for two hours
the bidding was keen on six per
cent basis. Approximately eighty
bids were made hy three bond
houses Gunter & Sawyer, c. w, Nc
Neer & Co, and G.. l.. Miller & Co.
The highest bid was that of the
Jacksonville house and was $685.
1926.
Not satisfied to sell the bonds at
this magnificent premium the COM
missioners decided to ask for bids
on five and one-half per cent ban.s.
not agreeing to accent either nigh
bid on a six or five and one-half per

of spirited bidding the last bid of
