CHICAGO, March 10.-A good dose Of
public confidence. This was one of two
major prescriptions offered yesterday by
Chicago's new assessor, J. l.. Jacobs,
efficiency expert, to relieve the city's
empty pocketbook.
Drastic reduction IN public expendi-

the city and county to sound financial

to be cut so that taxes would be

MUNICIPAL BOND
future BR|GHTENS
Bankers Preparing for New
Financing-Budget SIashes
Held Encouraging.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 10 For the
first time in nearly a year Wall Street
bankers who specialize in State and
municipal financing are beginning to
dust off long g-shelved financing prof.
ectS to see if some of them might soon
be offered for public investment SUBJ
scription.
Several executives have said they are
waiting a favorable opportunity to un-
dertake new financing, partly because
they would like to engage in active
underwriting work again, and. in no
small measure, because they would like
in that way to answer critics who have
accused them of being skinf1ints be-
cause of their refusal to loan money
freely to States and cities.
Bankers say there is nothing in the
skinfiint argument They aver that
they would like nothing better than to
see market condition which would
justify them in underwriting city and
State issues.
Market Strengthens.
The public market for municipal
bonds has materially strengthened this
week. Investors, who for months have
been chary of buying any but the
primest Of municipal bonds. have
shown a budding inclination to pur-
chase bonds now. The movement has
not yet reached impressive proportions,
but is said by bankers to be reassuring.
One of the most important inf1u-
ences causing better investment feel
ing, leading executives assert, is the
distinct turn toward governmental
economy.
So far this week, the investment pub
lie has read of several brisk budget
trimming parties. Typical of these
have been the statements that the
United States Government has trimmed
its proposed budget expenditures for
the next fiscal year by 1886, 100000, to
which the House of Representatives
recommends a still further reduction
Of $112,000,000.
The City of New York, which because
of the tremendous volume of its flnanc-
ing needs occupies a strategic position
in the municipal market, has taken an
ak to its budget this year whereby it
expects to trim off s172 900, 900 of costs
which had already been approved.
Many other municipalities, running the
gamut from the United States Govern
ment on down to the smallest political
subdivisions, have likewise done some
determined clipping.
Investors Encouraged.
These evidences, bankers say, have
encouraged investors, who are beginning
to favor tax-exempts now that the
economy fever has become contagious
So far this year. financing for States
and cities has aggregated about $780,
100000, a large portion being made up
of short-term notes, owing to the lack
of a good market for bonds. In the
current week, the better feeling Of
banker and investors toward municipal
issues was shown in the State Of
Missouri's sale of $2,500,000 of 44 per
cent bonds. Eight underwriting syndi-
Gates offered bids for the issue, which
was directly contrary to the all too
frequent picture Of bankers running
into hiding when States have merely
limited that they would attempt to sell
new bonds.
