Once more these two presented
themselves at the door Of Count Fred,

The two passed without detention

followed down this narrow hall. sus'

NOW is THE TIME TO MAKE
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS

At the moment, when every city
is studying the wisdom of doing all
possible public work now in order to
secure the benefit of the low cost of
materials and the abundance of labor,
while at the same time creating en-
ployment for men who would other
visit be idle, the Manufacturers Rec
ord is able today to present very
broad discussion of these questions
by many bond experts, bankers and
others who have given close study to
the marketing of municipal securi-
ties, as well as to the economic prob
lens connected with public work. A
more interesting symposium on this
subject we believe has never been
published. The men who have con-
tributed to this discussion have
broadly covered from many points of
view the whole situation. They show
that there is a growing demand for
good municipal securities which will
make it possible for any community
which has maintained it's credit in
the past, and which is in financial
shape to justify new issue, to find
market for it's bonds.
Many suggestions are made as to
the character of the bonds that
should be issued. Especial empha-
sis is laid upon the short-term bonds
for such public work as road build
ing and street making, where re-
building or reconstruction would
propably be necessary before the ex-
piration of long-term bonds. There
is much unanimity of sentiment in
favor of bonds for work, of this kind
being in serial form and limited in
time of payment, so that the work
point is stressed with much empha-
sis, and it should receive close con-
sideration on the part of all in the
South and Southwest interested in
the voting of securities for public
work.
