afternoon when the board contracted
to take an issue of $3.50 600 sewage
disposal bonds offered by the city
OF Minot. The bonds Will run fol-
twenty years and will draw four per
cent interest. The states action in
buying this issue is believed to have
saved MinOt many thousands of dol
lars in interest, as municipal bonds
drawing so low a rate of interest can
not easily be disposed of in the open
market in this period of high money
The proceeds Of these bonds will
be invested by the Magic City in d
