aa Interesting bit of bisrury. Tbat
city some time ago discovered tbat it
cooid secure better work or street im
provement by day Isbo tbaa by coo-
tract, and tt charter was ao amended
so as to admit tbe desired cbamte. Tbe
amended charter still provided tbat
improvement bonds shooed be aold aft
er bids bad bees received and cuotrarta
let. bot bef ure work bad begun. It did
not cover tba conditions f -r day labor
oa tba bond side apparently. Tbere-
fjre wbea f3X)..0 wortb of 8 per cent
paring bonds were laaoed tbera arose a
question aa to tbelr tega:i7, and bro
ker were ratber sby of tbem.
A bank inquired into tbe matter, ob
tained expert advice and found tbat
tbe bond were leaHy all rttfbt. It
tberefore parcbaed freely and, to see
wbat cooil be done in tbe way of in
teresting tbe small investors, pot be
fore one of tbe leadig department
stores of tbe city a plan to dUpoae of
tbe bonds over its counter. Tbe store's
beads fell into tbe plan at once, took
tbe bonda. announced a sale on a cer
tain day, tba bonda to be sold at tbe
price paid for tbem and roaranteed so
tbat no Investor need nave any fear
aboct getting bis money back at any
time. A limit of IIJCiO to each pur
cbaser was fixed. In aU fOO. wortb
of bonds were disposed of in Ova
boon. Tbe purchasers were foe tba
most part women, and tba average
pare base was aboct KM- Tba money
came from local savings backs, from
' tbe poetal aavicgj banks snd from per
sonal boardings.
Shorty after tbis anotber issue of
t25 wortb of bonds for a municipal
playground was offered. A bank took
tbe entire Issue and annoenced to tbe
public tbat it would seU. wltb tbesa
bonds as security, trust certlficatea la
denominations of f 10, no purchaser to
receive above $100 wortb. Tbe sale of
tbese certlficatea waa quite as success
ful as tbat at tbe de'artmect store.
In tbe city of Baltimore tbe finance

which bad been duly advertised for

Tbe sale was a distinct failure.
Within tea days, however, tbe whole
Issue bad been disposed of at V) and
