THE SCHOOL BONDS

After some months of unsuceess- full effort in outside markets to sell the bonds for construction of a new school house in Wrangell, the town council has decided to attempt to market the bonds in Wrangell and elsewhere in Alaska. The opinion prevails that there is little likeli- hood of general market conditions in the States improving in the near future.
 The proposition to bond the town of Wrangell for new school house met with considerable opposition, those opposed maintaining that the town was not justified in assuming such a burden of debt. The meas ure was finally carried, however, and construction on the new build ing is to begin this spring.
 Municipal bonds are considered high class form of investment. In ! the present case the bonds are se- cured by the municipal resources of the Town of Wrangell. The bonds will pay per cent interest.
 Many of the people who voted in favor of this bond issue probably have no money to invest in any thing. On the other hand, some who favored the action undoubtedly could buy bonds, and it would ap- pear no more than right that they should demonstrate their faith in the town and the new school by in- vesting in school bonds. Thus can they help Wrangell at no risk and at a profit to themselves.

Likewise, Coach Red" Irvine was

GOOD RECORD

During 1880, 100000 pas
sengers were transported over
stage lines in California-and
but three of them were killed.
There was not q single grade
crossing fatality involving a mo
tor coach.
The magnitude of this achieve
ment may be easily discerued by
a comparison with the accident
records of private automobiles.
The buses, through untiring ef
forts in instructing and training
drivers and ia keeping their
coaches in perfect mechanical
condition, have become one Of
the safest forms OF transporta
ton in existence.
The rise of the motor bus as
favored form of transportation
can only be described as pheEo
menal. For every passenger it
carried ten years ago. it now
carries scores. 1t has develop
ed into major industry, with
