$250,000 AUGUSTA BONDS ARE
SOLO TODAY FOR $252,007.50
One of Highest Prices Paid in Recent Years. Bought By
Security Trust Company, of Spartanburg, and A. B. Leach
& Ctiapar-y, of New York. Wonderful Improvement in
Bond Market.
One of the highest prices paid for city of Augusta bond* In recent
years was paid todav by the Security Trust Company, of Spartanlmfg, S.
S., and A. H. Leach and Company, of New York, Jointly, when they se
cured 6250,000 flood protection lionifs of 1912 for *252,687.50, or 101.07.
The last installment of flood protection bonds, sold about 80 days ago,
was purchased bv Robinson, Humphrey, Wardlaw Company and others
for 97.50, and a comparison shows what a tremendous difference there is
between the two prices. There were four bids above par, while there were
ten bidders in all. , , .. ,
Mr. John W. Dickey, Augusta's veteran bond broker, who Ims handled
city of Augusta bonds for 23 years, was asked for a statement after the
finance committee had opened all of the bids and made the award.
“The splendid price which the bonds brought shows what a wonderful
improvement there has been in the bond market during the pust few
months,” said Mr. Dickey. ’’One of the reasons why municipal lainds are
in such demand Is that they do not come under the provisions of the in
come tax law. Still another reason for the very excellent price 1h the
splendid credit <oT Augusta."
