Pacific Telephone
Sells Debentures
At Record Cost

NEW YORK. Aug. 20 (R.--
Pacific Telephone 81 Telegraph
Co. today sold $50 million in
debentures at the highest cost
to any Bell System company
since 1880.
Halsey Stuart 81 Co. was
successful bidder for the 49,
year 51s per cent debentures
due August /. 1880. Their bid
was l01.639. This was an inter-
est cost to the company of
approximately 5 per cent to
maturity of the debentures.
1t is expected the bonds will
be reoffered to the public at
102.387 to yield approximately
4.95 per cent.
In January, 1880. American
Telephone 81 Telegraph Co.
sold $3.50 million of 35-year
5 per cent debentures at a
cost to the company of 5.22
per cent. This represents the
previous high cost to any Bell
System company.
Proceeds from the deben-
lures will be used by Pacific
Telephone to help repay tenn
porary borrowings used for
extensions, additions, and i'm
provements to the company's
telephone plant.
