What about Fixed CHARGE"

Borrowing is normal incident" with most
farmers. Few are able to get along entirely on their
own capital.
And only under unsound conditions do debt and
interest you into trouble. The same is true of
a railroad.
oThe rate of interest you pay must not be
too high.
The government has seen to it that the farmer
can borrow at low interest rates. The rates paid by
the railroads also are low even though almost all
of the money they owe was borrowed from private
investors.
"The average rate is about ~ per cent" said
the Federal Coordinator of Transportation in his
1885 report.
The average rate of interest paid by the Great
Northern on its bonded Indebtedness is less than
~ per cent.
. Your Indebtedness must not be too high in
proportion to the value of your property.
Government lending on farms and homes has been
limited to about three -fourths of their value. The
total bonded indebtedness of the railroads is less

GROUP OF SCHOOL
 BUILDINGS BEGUN

The White Oak Excavators, head ed by Louis Toffolon of Plainville, today broke ground for the first of a group of school and service build- ings at the new state training school and hospital at Southbury, 1t was announced by Arvid H. Sjovall, resi- dent engineer for the Public Works Administration.
 This project comprising some fifty buildings at an estimated cost of $5, ,726,0 900, is made possible by a PWA grant of $2,576,7 700 to the state of Connecticut.
 Under the agreement between the state of Connecticut and PWA, the entire project will be completed and ready for use by June 30, l940. This was a strict requirement under the fast-moving PWA program directed by Administrator Harold L. Ickes, aimed at putting men and material to work as quickly as possible.
 Construction contracts under the PWA program are always awarded to the lowest responsible bidder. While some of these contracts will go to out-of-state firms. it is inter esting to note that the Connecticut state labor law provides that resi- dent Connecticut workmen shall be employed on the work.
