$4,000 Bond Issue Is
Sold by School City
Bid for Constructing Broad
Ripple Building Is
Below Par.

Bond issue totaling $4,000 for
the construction of an addition to
the Broad Ripple high school build
ing was sold by the school board last
night at four points below par and
at a 80 per cent interest.
Marcus Warrender and Oscar F.
Frenzel Jr., joint purchasers of the
bonds and the only bidders, ex-
planned that the trend of govern
ment bonds in the last two days
made it inadvisable to submit bids
for municipal bonds at par.
Board members at first were re-
luCtant to accept the bid. Rather
than break their precedent of not
selling bond issues at less than par
they considered rejecting the bid
and readvertising.
Tabulations revealed, however,
that the low interest rate offered
by the purchasers would make the
cost of the issue lower to the school
city than an issue sold at par and
at higher rate.
The board was informed by Mr..
Warrender and Mr. F'renzel that
recent indications of governmental
imitation had created furry in the
bond market, driving government
bonds off from l to IL per cent and
driving the municipal bond market
to below par.
The board formally accepted the
$58,068 bequeSt of Mrs. James E
Roberts and approved a recommen-
dation of A. B. Good, business di-
rector, that it be used for the erec-
ton and equipment of new school
for crippled children.
