RICHMOND BONDS
IN GREAT DEMAN D
That Substantial Condition of
Citv's Finances Is Beyond
Question Demonstrated
BIDDERS OFFER BONUS
Hamilton & Company, of Balti-
more, Pay $515,400 for
New Half Million Short
Term Issue.

Richmond city bonds are in de-
mand. and there was something or a
scramble for $500, 900 worth at the
meeting OF the finance committee last
night Fifteen bids were opened. the
lowest being the offer of the First Ma
tional bank. of this city. which placed
its bid at s505 050, while the highest
and the successful bidder was Ham
ilton n Co. OF Baltimore. whose bid
was 81 5,400.
II was with some pride that City
Auditor Crenshaw pointed to the list
OF bidders. a number from New York.
and several from Richmond. besides
the Baltimore bidder, whose offer was
accepted unanim ously after some dis
cussion, concerning the apparent
laxIty OF spirit in the Richmond banks
in engaging in the contest.
Members OF the committee express
ed much pleasure az the manner in
which fnanciers viewed the city s
ability TO meet it's obligations, and
the fact that such a large number of
offers were made. indicated to their
minds that Richmond stands high in
financial circles.
President John NJ Miller. of the
First National bank. was disappoint-
ed at the way things went. He had
understood from a cursory talk with
Chairman Barton H Grundy. of the
committee, some months ago. that his
bank and the Merchants Natioual
could get the bonds. and he SO stated,
adding that the two banks had gone
as far as to undersell the bonds. with
confidence in the understanding.
Banks Deserved Credit.
Members of the committee said the
Richmond banks represented at the
D
present embracing the First National,
the Merchants National and the Bank
OF Commerce and Trusts should re-
cetve recognition from the city treas
urer when the city's funds are TO be
deposited A resolution was adopted
embodying such a recommendation.
while the bank represented by Mr..
Miller and the others OF the city which
do business with the city. should re-
ceive some recognition said Mr..
Seaton, ''it must be remembered that
the city helps the banks. too. 1t is
a mutual recognition. But it would
he foolish business for us to sell the
bonds to local banks at par. when we
can sell them at a bonus"
Councilman Mills. Jones and Powell
agreed with Mr.. Seaton, and on mo-
ton of Mr.. Powell the bonds were sold
! to the highest bidder. the Hamilton
Co, of Baltimore.
The other bids were: Estabrook &
Co. New York. s1I57o; commission
ers of the sinking fund OF the city.
