with an unique investment opportun- ity with decision ofouncil to sell a 266000 de benture issue through the town treasurers off ices this action has been taken because of a de pressed bond market which sees brokers uninter ested in taking over such an issue for resale apparently there is not enough investment mon ey available at the moment from the large com panies which customarily investin municipal de bentures there is no particular question that georgetowns bonds are not good the own has expanded fast but its financing is on a sound basis tax rates are reasonably low and assess ment values are expanding to take care of in creased expenditures council has hopes that a large share of the present bond issue will be purchased locally if is possible that a payroitnisctuctiohptan will be made available in industry similar to that used for government savings bonds n attractive interest rate of 5v is a particular inducement for buyers whether in large or small amounts the town will benefit considerably by sav ing brokerage rates and if the bonds are success fully marketed it may set a precedent which will be followed in future debenture issues horticultural news by tony bradshaw
