It is not surprising then that conser- vative investors look with favor on the bonds and the preferred stock of well managed companies furnish- ing this service. When there is a long record of profitable operation and conservative financing even eommon stock of such companies command an investment-rating. It is true that some states such as New York and New Jersey do not allow] Savings banks to buy _ first’ mort- gage utility bonds but there is no good reason for this discrimination. It is a relic of the days when only government and municipal bonds and railroad issues were considered good enough for the savings banks to invest in. Some of the states are more Uberal in this respect and their number is bound to grow. Rail- road bonds of the savings bank class bring an artificially high price in many instances making it still more advantageous for the individual in. vestor to select utilities not legal Investments but to all practical pur- Poses just as secure, SW section 27-40-79, 2,532 feet; no test.
