issue received the highest bids ever
offered for any. municipal bonds is.
sued by this city, last night when
The First Securities company OF
Los Angeles, hond house of the Pa
cific Southwest Trust. and Savings
bank, paid a premium of $3.50 for
the bonds to be issued on a ~ and

sharp.
When the bonds were voted by the
people of Ell Centre several months
ago, the resolution called for bond
to be issued at no more than per
cent. The recent resolution of the
board called for bids for n 9 per
cent bond, but the active demand
for municipal securities, resulted in
the receipt of more attractive rate,
in which several thousands of dol
lars have been saved.
The bid, given by the First Securi-
ties company, calls for $4,000 to
be issued at q rate of 5la per cent.
The remaining 100000 are to bear
5A per cent interest.

department of the First Securities
