Question: would like your opinion Of
the following three bonds which | havs
recently bought with the intention of hold =
ing them until maturity: $1,000 Sinclair
Consolidated Oil Company Is. 1887: $1,000
saks g. Go. snkins fund Is, 1912; $1,000
on sale. II you think it would be ad-
visable to sell any Of the above now. what
would you advise to buy in its place?
buy with tho intention OF holding until
maturity or until called Is 1t true that
manX listed bond Is g9od bond If held
Westchester & Boston tlas, 1916, now sell
ing At 40? Wouldn't that make them
yield per cent? Are they good buy
c. w.
Answer-The theory that any listed
bond is good bond if held until it
natures is nonsense. We can point out
many bonds once considered first class
that are now in default and selling for
from 10 to 20 per cent of their par or
nominal value. We believe that you
high yield than by the intrinsic value
of the bonds you buy. The three you
have. particularly the Czecho-Slovak
SIS, are somewhat speculative, though
there is no reason why an active busi-
ness man should have cause to worry
about the new Sinclair rs. The Saks
is are just ordinary. in our opinion.
Westchester 4lss are not to be con-
sidered as an investment. They ars
guaranteed by Endorsement by the New
York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad,
but since this roads own securities
are selling at big discount we would
not lay much stress on this guaranty.
In the future we advise you to i'm
prove the quality Of your holdings by
adding q few per cent bonds Of the
type Of New York Telephone 6s, 1941,
and Duquesne Light first 6s, 1949.

Answer-You do not state how many
United States government bonds and
municipal issues you hold. We feel
that unless the amount is fairly large
you have q topheavy list With one
or two exceptions, these are not the
kind of bonds that should be held by
a woman unless she is in a position
to keep in constant touch with the dc
velopment Of these companies. You
have large number of debentures. and
the security for such bonds and notes
is the earning power OF the issuing
companies, hence the necessity for
keeping in close touch with earnings.
We suggest that you consider dispos-
ing of the Wisconsin Power, Light and
Heat 7. and substituting therefor q
good railroad bond not necessarily 3

assume without knowing your fnan-
cia condition or what other securi-

securities best suited for you. The
Republic Iron and Steel preferred divi-

but dividends are cumulative and it
is reasonable to suppose that the de-
ferred payment Will be made when
conditions in the steel industry have
improved sufficiently to warrant it.

Hearing on Gas
Rates Postponed

The conference of mayors and
souncils from the various boroughs
supplied with gas by the county Gas
Company, which was scheduled to be
held in the borough hall of Keyport'
Wednesday Afternoon, did not take
place owing to the superintendent be-
ing in Atlantic City. The conference
had been postponed for one week and
will be held in the borough hall on
Tuesday afternoon of next week at
2.S0 O'Clock. At this conference the
superintendent will meet the mayors,
members of the councils and interested
citizens to discuss the present gas rate.
The Keyport Improvement Asso-
ciaton already has offered the local
council its help, in securing a local
gas rate, which is 1926 and an ad-
ditlOnal charge of 25 cents for service
making a total of $3.50 per / 1000 feet
which is higher than the local rate has
sver been.
The gas service in the borough for
the past year has been decidedly i'm
proved, however, and the increase in
rate is believed by many to be the
method by which the company is able
to supply greater amount Of gas.
With the present service and a lower
rate, 1t would seem that the borough
IL facing the best gas service in many
years and much interest is centered in
the meeting which will be attended by
Superintendent Stockton and the COM
pany's council, William Foster.

Two royal dukes, friends of Sheri-
