FINE OUTLOOK IS SEEN
FOR MUNICIPAL BONDS

CONTINUED from fAke ~
rates should steadily and continually
decline. ,.n..
"ThSs means that municipalities
should Immediately adopt civic plan
ming schemes" continued Mr.. Bah
son, "and probably should make dur
ing the next tive years, such i'm
provements as they. ordinarily would
make in. ten. The time to make hay
is while the sun shines, and the, time
to borrow money on long terms is
when money rates are low. Hence.
cities and towns should not only bor-
row during the next few years for
their current needs but should borrow
large sums and invest the same for
use for years to come, especially dur
ing the next period of unemployment.
IF cities operated in a business
way they would borrow their money
at times like the present, stow it a
way, and then spend it when the next
period of unemployment comes. BY
spending it at such times, they could
not only get the work done very
much cheaper, but they could perform
distinct service to the people OF
the community. The general Gus
tom followed is the reverse. Cities
now do their. construction work
when is it easy to get money, which
is when labor is fully employed and
when everyone else is building.
This is all wrong When the period
of unemployment comes it is very
difficult to borrow money for con-
struction work because money IS then
tight and the citizens feel poor.
Hence, under the, present system 1t
is impossible to do much to relieve
unemployment when it comes. If
an ice man attempted to follow the
same system in his business as the
city official follow, he would wait
until summer to cut his ice.
"For investors this means that tax
exempt securities, and town bonds
should now be purchased even tho
they have already gone up some IN
price. Those who contemplate buy
ing should buy at once before they
20 up stip higher, When buying
tax exempt issues seek the long term
ones as these will show the greatest
profit. All of. this should be espec-
tally encouraging to the contractors
and builders, as it means great
deal of public work will be done
during the next few years. City
water plants will be extended, more
sewers will be constructed, new pub
lie buildings will be erected, and the
good road movement will continue
to grow. This should be welcome
information," concluded the statistic
ian, 80 those who handle contract
ors' supplies and building materials
and especially all such materials as
are used by cities and towns"
General business as reflected IN
the index figure Of the aBabsonchart
is 1S PEN cent below normal. This
is an Improvement Of 4 PEI, cent ov-
er last week and is 10 per cent above
tie activity of the, same week year
ago. Smaller failures are helping
matters considerably and further im-
provement should be reflected dur
ing the next few weeks. " ~

Vienna, Oct. 23.-It is estimat-

Austria has increased over 90
900 percent since January Of
this year.
Each monthly index number,
on which all government salar-
les as well as agreements be-

are based, has mounted steadily.
until this month government e,r

met largely by the printing press.
