CURRENT COMMENT
By Henry Willis

A Little About State Bonds: During

Bilbo approved ton Oct. 18th, 1881 a
bill that provided for the issue and
sale of $6,000,000.00 State of Mississippi
bonds. They were to bear interest at
not more than per cent and sold for
not less than par and were non- -callable
They could not be sold for the reason
presumably that the depression mar
ket would not buy such bonds. The Con-

successful efforts had been made to
le-estaDlish the state credit by other
means. The Kyle bill was the best that
>ould be done. The committee to handle
the sale was: governor, lieutenant gov
ernor and senator, speaker and a
house member, two citizens. These bonds
were finally sold at .97 Il think. In
March a concurrent resolution had pass
ed declaring it to be the policy of the
state administration to balance the
budget, to provide revenue, pay appro-
priations, place the state, on a cash
basis" That was done by the admins
