OFFER TOWN MONEY.
Banks and individuals Ready to Loan
at Per Cent.-chance to Take Up
Floating indebtedness.


1t is understood that numerous offers
have been received by officials of the
town of Putnam of loans to take up
the floating Indebtedness, which is in
excess of 100000, at a four per cent
rate of interest. The town is now
paying five per cent. interest on much
of the money loaned to the town.
The offers have come from various
banking houses, from institutions in
neighboring towns and fro mfndivid-
uals here, who are willing to loan COM
paratively small amounts at as low as
four per cent.
1t is stated that the banks have
more money to loan at this time in
many cases than ever before and that
this is the reason for the very attrac-
tive interest rate offered.
An official said Monday afternoon
that no action has yet been taken rel
ative to taking advantage of the Of
fers made, but something may be done
about the matter at an early date. 1t
is also understood that there is a plan
of issuing town notes in small and
large denominations SO that local peo-
pie who are interested in investing
their funds with the town might have
an opportunity to do so. Quite num-
Der Of people here are said to have
sought this opportunity and have Of
fered to loan the town money at four
per cent.
The offers that have been made by
banking concerns Of loans at four per
cent. are understood to be for six
months periods only. Notes issued by
the town, it is claimed, could be is
sued to run for longer periods. The
town of Putnam has no bonds out
standing, though the city of Putnam
has issued both water and sewer
bonds.
