BAER CO. TAKES
BOND ISSUE

John P. Baer and Company of
Baltimore, was the highest bidder
yesterday for Rockville's $50, 900
bond issue for water and sewer
purposes, with bid of $1OO.8O
for every 500 bond.
Bids were opened by Mayor
Roger Spates and the twon coun-
ell at the town hall in Rock
vile. The second bid was for
k10O.79S and was the joint bid
Of the Nelson, Cook and Com
pany; Baker, Watts and Com
pany, and Townsend, Scott and
Company, all of Baltimore.
The bonds are AZ per cent
bonds and run to 1854. The tax
able basis of Rockville is $4,000.
900 and with the sale Of the
bonds the bonded indebtedness
lS now $104,0O0
According to Mayor Spates,
The reason that more money was
not realized on the sale of the
bonds was due to the towns
desire to avoid anything which
would cause a change in the tax
rate which is now a little more
than 80 cents. The denomina-
tion Of the bonds also tended to
null down the sale price.
