Inc Central Arizona Light and Fcepr company of Phoenix recently 1oid 70 Biyfh. Witter q Co. of Cali 1ornia an issue of $5O0.000 first and refundipg mortgage bonds to provide the neceesary funds with which to extend the facilities of the company eud taiEe care of the rapid growth Of Phoenix and the surrounding terri tory.
 H. II. Aller, vice. president Of the company. when interviewed as to the detai1g Of the transaction yesterday made 1he following statement.
 1Uhe outcome of our negotiations with Blyth. Witter & Co, which have extend<d over period of three monthn; and have eliminated in their becoming interested in our company n . dIskributor Of our securities, is mont satisfactory. The Pacific Gas and Electric company. which was bought out by the Central Arizona Light and Power company, always procprkd it's funds in New York.
 "Thel Pacific Gas and Electric com panv ihortxage covered $1.250.0 of bonds and the last of these were sold monthb ago Since then we have been obliged to borrow on notes to do the necessary work of extension to our iN By8k6u19 tliC1lcftt IO luS 1dPAu 6AOW -t of Phoenix and vicinity In the past two years we have expended more than $S00.0O0 for additions to oul property and our borrowing capacity has been heavily strained.

the community at large in many ways
 The people of California are close to and know us, and since we have had the pleasure of entertaining them in Phoenix and showing them the possibilities of the Salt River valley, they realize the needs and have seen the marvelously rapid growth of our city. With true California optimism, they even go further than we do in predictions as to the future. Some of the officials of Blyth, Witter & Co, after their visit here in May, gave it as their opinion that with proper farming methods, ample funds pro- vided for the growth of Ae public utilities. and the natural advantages of the valley, that a city here of 1 100, ,000 inhabitants was only a ques- l tion of a few years
 The sale of this present issue of bonds will provide us with funds to retire our floating debt. and to pro vide many of the facilities needed to adequately take care of the city's s growth.
 s.rhe bonds themselves we regard as first-class investment and one which will increase in value as the
 community grows. While we have no agreement on the subject we are
 confident that a firm of the stand ing and aggressive conservatism ot Blyth. Witter & Go. would not have
 undertaken to stand back of this issue
 of bonds had they not felt that they
 were prepared to purchase further
 issues as conditions warrant.
 "We therefore feel that our finan- cial problem has been very satisfac-
 torily solved for the time being ant that we are prepared to meet ani
 care for any growth in the Salt Rivel .l valley ip a manner which will b. both credit to our company and comfort and help to the community
