HUTSON ACT HELPS ALABAMA'S BONDS IN MARKET, BELIEF
Brewer Thinks The Financial Status Strengthened By
 Raising Taxation Limit

Municipal bonds issued by cities and towns of Alabama in the future will be in stronger financial status since the passage of the Hutson act lis the belief of Senator Walter Brow er who expressed himself on the sub ject when he returned from Mont gomery Saturday morning.
 Heretofore, MT. Brewer said, bonds from communities in Alabama have suffered severely in the general bond market because of their lack of back ground, in that the limitation put on taxation so greatly reduced the amount of representative property that be considered as security for such loans.
 There was and is much opposition to raising this limit on taxation, MT Rrower said, so the matter was hand but the situation is still further i'm The Hutson act provides that each bond issue must be accompanied by a distinct and individual sinking fund to liquidate the loan at maturity. This alone will buoy municipal bonds from Alabama towns to a marked degree but the sitpation is still further im- proved in that the sinking fund moneys may be invested in certain bonds that have been passed on and approved by the state banking de- ment. Par sales are expected.
 "One per cent reduction in the in terest on bonds sounds like a trivial ity," Mir Brewer said" but it rep resents a 20 per cent reduction when city pays 4 per cent interest in- stead of 5,per cent. Such reduction carried over periods of 20 and 30
 r,f afaHF on bond issues of major proportions. 1 It is not unreasonable to say the Hutson act will move Alabama liter al millions of dollars
 Sinking Fund COmplusOry.. ..,.. ...
 Mir Brewer went on to explain | that the act does not make the sink 1 ing fund establish a matter of choice on the part of the municipal I ity issuing the bonds, but, instead. Is mandatory, compulsory and is un- I avoidable.
 The effect on the market for Ala | bama bonds will be surprising, for 1 buyers of bonds our communities Will 1 Issue in the future" said the senator, will know beyond all doubt that their loans, automatically, will be paid when the time to pay arrives
 without calling any names here is concrete instance for comparison; in this law office we have $25,00O worth of bonds issued by an Alabama community. They have been due for many months, the courts have or dered them paid, the town wants to pay them, but hasn't the money. That town, if desiring to issue mare bonds, would be faced by bond buyers with the situation of the $25.000 issue we hold. It is doubtful if they could sell. save in unusually unpleasant condi- tions. any more bonds now. The Hut son act eliminates the possibility of such conditions in the future in this state.
 q feel no small pride in the fact that was co-laborer with senator Melvin Hutson of Decatur in putting through this act. 1t is the law now" passed by both houses and signed by the governor.

handiWork into competition in the womens building.
The rancheT, sOckmen and farmers are urged to enter their best cattle,
sheep, hogs and agricultural products into the various cassfcatons. We are a
great agricultural state, we take second place % no other state in the raising of
stock and high class grain. We re proud of our state and her products Let us
show that pride by personally seeing that the exhibits are larger in 1923 than

pend the growth and continued success of the WYOMING STATE FAIR in fu-
tme years.
Citizens of Wyoming, start now to take an increased interest in the Fair; it
is yours and upon you depends its. success. Without the assistance and co-opera-
