WILL SAVE STATE
$4,000 PER YEAR
The Sinking Fund Commission
Gives Contract for Refund
ing Brown COnSOl Debt.

Columbia, Feb. 16.-Special
to The News and Courier: The
sinking fund commission late to
night announced that it had
awarded the contract for refund
ing the Brown consol debt of the
State to a syndicate composed
of Towsend, Scott & Son, of
Baltimore; Stacy & Draugn, of
New York, and the Palmetto Ma
tional Bank, of Columbia. This
bid was for the entire outstand-
ing issue of Brown consol bonds
amounting to $4,000, 900, at par,
with accrued interest to date.
and a premium of $2O,O16.
There were about fifteen bids,
but this was the most favorable
one and it secured the issue.
The sinking fund commission
opened bids at noon today and
was in session all the afternon
and until late tonight. going
carefully over each bid. The sue
cessfu! bid is considered most
advantageous one in every re-
Spect.
The bonds are refunded un-
der an Act passed by the Legis
lature in 1912. The new bonds
will bear interest ut the rate of
4 per cent annually instead of
q 1-2 per cent, which rate the
Brown consols carried. This will
mean a saving of $4,000 a
year in interest alone and under
the terms of the bid, which Sc
cured the bonds, interest will be
paid from 1912.
The sinking fund commission
is composed of Governor Man
ming, Attorney General Peoples,
State Treasurer Carter, Comp
troller General Sawyer, Chair
man Lilies, of the House ways
and means committee, and
Chairman Christensen, of the
Senate finance committee. All
six of the members voted to ac-
cept the bid of the syndicate
named above.
