Frederick Sullens, of The Jackson Daily News, and
Lieutenant Governor Casteel "a het up" the
adjustment of the Lee Guards and George Rifles at the
A. and NJ. College. These gentlemen laborng under
misrepresentation, for they to think that military
discipline has been entirely wiped out at A. and M. In
this they are wrong The rifle companies merely
social organizations and had no connection with the big
democratic military life of the institution.

Answer-For many years the Chicago,
st. Paul, Minneapolis &, Omaha has been
a well managed road, and before Federal
control had an enviable dividend record.
The majority Of its stock is owned by
the Chicago G. Northwestern, another
well managed property. We believe the

would be Union Pacific in preference to

Traction Bonds Selling Low

Questlon--win you please give me your
opinion of the safety of the following
bonds: Consolidated Cities Light. Power

holdings are Liberty bonds, United States
ceruhcates OF Indebtedness and few is-
sues frequently mentioned In your columns
such as Bell Telephone and Brooklyn Edi-
aon per cent bonds.-Miss M f. B.
=, Answer--Consolidated Cities Light,
foWer and Traction per cent 1862, Of
which there are $100O0,O00. are Sc
cured by deposit and pledge of bonds
and stocks of various public utility
companies. The income from these
securities Is $947 ,937, and tie charges
are $500000. The bonds are guaran-
teed by the Cities Service Company.
based upon these figures, the interest
appears to be safe, but the bonds do
rot command good market. Jersey
CITY, Roboken and Paterson per cent
1949 are secured on about 146 miles of
track, subject to underlying liens of
Paterson Railway on about thirty mine
miles and North Hudson County Rail-
way on about fifty miles. 1t is part
of the Public Service Corporation of
New Jersey. This company has had
some difficulty in obtaining increases
IN fares, but at present there appears
to be a fair enough revenue to main
tain the company. There is certain
amount of apathy on the part of in
yestors toward street railway issues,
and for that reason such securities sell
at very low figures. We regard the
bond as Il fair speculative investment.
