PREMIUMS ON BOND ISSUES.

Authorities of Sussex county are
congratulatlns themselves upon hay
ing disposed Of an issue OF 5000. 900
good roads bonds at a premium or a
little over per cent. They regard
It as an evidence Of The good financial
credit Of the county In the financial
markets.
And 80 1t is 20 the extent that In
vcstors look upon tho financial obll-
CATIONS Of Sussex county as safe
investment. so far as assurance of 1he
payment ~ principal and interest is
concerned. There Is no doubt that in
respect of this element ~ the sltua
ton. ihc county could float other bond
issues. The securlty--the faith and
credit of the people of Sussex county
would go long way. In fact. to the
point whore the extension OF the

But there is another element TO he
considered in connection with this
premium that was commanded by the
latest issue ot Sussex county road
bonds. They carry interest at the
rate OF 8 per cent per annum. and
this is what may he called a very good

in this connection. 20 look at the pre-

The real meaning Of the handsom,
