STATE REJECTS ALL
BIDS FOR BONDS
Offers Made BY Bankers Are Cnsat-
isfactOry.

Bids for the new issue OF State OIL
Maryland lateral and post-road 4 e
per cent. bonds were opened at An
nanoIis Yesterday. Although the
prices bid were most favorable, the
state decided not to award the pohdS'
for the reason that the Roads COM
mission would not need any money
for about sixty days, and the state
sinking fund. which would be very
substantial at that time, would prop
ably be invested n these bonds.
The bid of Messrs, Poe & Davies
for the snort-term issues, coupled
with that OF Messrs. Estabrook ana
Co.. for the balance of the loan, was
higher in the aggregate amount ol
money produced for the state imam
the next higher bid.
Among the bidders were Alexan-
der Brown & Sons, with Harris
Forbes & Co.. The Mercantile Trust
and Deposit Company, with me
Guaranty Trust Company, Bankers
Trust Company, Hambleton q Co.,
Baker Watts & Co., and William Il.
Compton & Co., the National City
Company, with E. H. Rollins & Co.
EIdridge & Co., Eastman, Dillon d
Co., Estabrook G Co., with Remlck'
Hodges & Co., and Poe & Davies,
bidding for their own account.
The whole issue was S1,5OO,OOO
and the bonds mature serially from
August Is, 1928 to August Is, 1888
Governor Richie issued the fol
lowing statement, setting forth IN
detail why the Board of Public
Works decided, to reject all of the
bids.
After a careful consideration oil
all the bids for the s1,5OO,O0O road
bonds, the Board of Public WORKS

mas decided not to accept any we
10 this for the follOwng reasons
While the highest bid of 9S.lS5
cumpares very faVorably with the
present market for other public Sc
curities yet to accept this bid would
mean that the state would nave
SlO2.255 less out of this issue 10
spend upon the roads than If par
had been secured, and We do not
want to lose one dollar OF road money
that can possibly be saved, nor place
any discount on the taxpayers when
can be avoided particularly IN me
case of long term bonds, such as
these.
The principal market for the bonds
must necessarily be here in Mary
land and if they were sold at so
large a discount, they would, as and
when marketed necessarily compete
with and tend to lower the market
price not only of existing state ana
other securities but also of the Sc
curities which many of the counties
are now issuing for road purposes,
and of the securities which Baltl-
more city will issue, and which must
also find their principal market here.
In the present instance, fortunate
". no such necessity exists as would
REQUIRE the present sale of the bonds
in the face of these disadvantages.
The state, moreover, in next Sep
TENDER, will have approximately ST.
100000 in it's sinking funds, all Of
which will be available for the pur-
chase of these bonds at par; and If
the market has not sufficiently i'm
proved when the proceeds Of this
! issue. are needed for roads, then we
will apply this $1,OOO,OOO to the pur-
chase of a like amount of these bonds
