SCHOOL BONDS MAY BE SOLD
s. \. Temple Interviews Brokers in Seattle Who Assure Him Bonds
 Are Negotiable

When it was proposed to bond the town last sWmmer for the purpose of building a new school house some op- position developed to the plan among our citizens, one of the objections arising from the belief that bonds is- sued by Valdez could not be sold out side. MT. s. A. Hevuple, manager of the Temple Copper Mining Company, who is spending the winter in Seattle investigated the market for the sale of these bonds and writes as follows:
 Seattle. Wn., Nov. IA, 1917 "Prospector Publishing Company,
 Valdez, Alaska.
 "Gentlemen:-Since my arrival here I have made some inquiries among the bankers and bond houses as to the possibility of disposing of some bonds of the city of Valdez for the purpose of erecting a school house and l find that there is good de- mand at the present time for munich pal bonds and think that you should have no trouble in selling a bond is- sue of say $25.000 at this time and think the bonds could be sold to car ry interest from six to seven per cent. While the bonds might be sold to carry only six per cent. at the time they would be put on the market on account of war trouble or for some other reasons, it might be necessary to carry a higher rate, so if this au- thorization would permit the city to pay only six per cent and if the bonds could not be sold s' that time at that price it would cause the failure of the sale of the bonds.
 'It would also possibly be advis- able to have this thing understood when it is voted upon by the citizens of Valdez. The bond buyers stated, that they would want to know the exact indebtedness of the town; also when same would be paid; also the exact amount of the appraised valua- tion of the property of the town.
 "So if the people of Valdez want a new school building, all they have to do is to get permission from the U. S. Senate and have the election and the bonds can be sold at once, altho it is advisable if the people want same. to commence at once, as 1t will take some time to get everything sat- isfactorily arranged.
 "1 expect to stay in this city till possibly May and t I can be of any service to you in this regard, will be pleased to serve you"
 ".Yours truly,
 IS. A. HEMPLE."
