barely more than 5 feet when he

McGrath Of Australia to cover, 6-3,

His short legs working swiftly and
vigorously like the pistons on a speed
ing railroad locomotive, Grant treated
a capacity gallery of 10000 to one Of
the greatest displays of court-covering
ever seen on Wimbledons historic
center turf.
McGrath, known as the two-hsted
player because he holds the racket
with both hands on deep forehand
and backhand shots, is one Of the
foremost placement artists in the
game. but he couldn't keep the ball
out of Grants range.

FORMAL APPROVAL

The bonds are to be sold at par.
At the same time the gas light COM
pany applied to the Federal Securities
and Exchange Commission for exemp-
ton from registration Of the bonds on

provements. The company owes ap-
proximately 1888 900 in this type OF
short-term loans, but all Of the amount
will not be retired to allow the pur-
chase of new equipment.
This will be paid for out Of the
$700, 900 left after the retirement OF

two new water gas generators in their
plant on the Anacostia River, east o1
the Navy Yard. The company esti-
mates the new generators will cost ap-
proximately $640 900.
This investment will mark the be.
ginning of a large plan for plant
betterment that will eventually cost
about $l,500,000.
The refunding of outstanding debts
will mean an annual saving Of nearly
$4,000 in interest for the gas COM
pany.

curities, will be retired in the manner

tan and that amount of bonds re-
tired. The second year $4,000 also
will be paid, but thereafter for the
remaining 18 years the bonds will bt
paid OF at the rate Of 100000 an
nually.
Meanwhile, the gas company Is
given the right to retire a larger
quantity of bonds If 1t desires. but
during the first few years they viii
have to be purchased back at
premium, the maximum rate being
lot and par being reached two years
before the last bonds are due.

priation from Congress, either in the
