that two-thirds or more of the
bonds will be in repositories within
week" Courtwright declared
Approximately "a per cent has
been deposited in Los Angeles and
San Francisco already. I know de-
finitely of two per cent more that
is in transit and there is consider
ably more that is probably on the
way. 1t is just a question of time
now
Bonds from East
The bondholders secretary, who
has played a leading role with Dis
trict President Evan T. Hewes in
putting over the refunding pro-
gram. explained that more definite
figures were not available because
some bonds were sent to the Los
Angeles depository and some to San
Francisco. Virtually all OF the
bonds in transit are coming from
the east, he indicated.
Any delay now is merely a
mechanical one" he added. point
ing to the fact that registered mail
carrying the securities would come
slower than other services.
Courtwright's assurances confirm
ed reports from Hewes that S346000
in securities were on the way to
the coast from the east.
Courtwright pointed out that
much faster action could have been
obtained by soliciting the bonds.
He explained:
The necessary two thirds could
have been pledged much quicker
had We gone in for expensive pre-
sonal solicitation of bondholders.
we chose the slower but
more economical method and much
of the solicitation was done by
mail"

He had high praise for Hewes'
activities in New York where the
two recently conferred with large
and swung the tide"
for the refunding plan.
Mr.. Hewes did valuable work
there, for many of the holders en-
tertained erroneouse ideas about
the district and he could enlighten
them on technical matters" Court
wright said.
