ROADBOND ISSUE S0LD FORS97658 ' Montgomery County Board . Awards Contract to Na- | tional City Co. By a Staff Cosrespondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., June 26.—The county commissioners at their meeting here yesterday awarded to the National City Co. of New York the entire issue of $697999 in road bonds, bids for which were opened. This company. the highest bidder of two, offered $97.6509 per $100, which was declared by them to be equivalent to par, with a discount or loss of $16,310.49. The other bid was a joint one, from Nelson, Cook & Co.; Townsend Scott & Son and Baker, Watts & Co. of Baltimore, | which was $96.83 per $100. Bid Declared Excellent. The National City Co. bid was de clared to be an excellent one, consider- ing the present condition of the mar- ket, and was said to be much higher than prices received by municipalities and other counties in various parts of the country. The call money price was | said to be so high that little cash is being put in_municipal bonds. Berry E. Clark, clerk of the county commissioners, informed the board that he had been told by representatives of bonding companies that if they could hold some of their bond issues until November, a much better price could be received. However, the bonds now being sold are being put on the market because of the fact that the county meeds the money at this time. As soon as the National City Co. bid ‘was opened, Commissioner Lacy Shaw moved that it be accepted, and the board concurred in the recommendation. ‘The proceeds of this issue, which is dated July 1, are to be used for the payment of debts already incurred in the construction of roads in various ts of the county. The money had en advanced from other funds in the possession of the board. It also is to pay the State Road Commission for work it has already completed. School Board Wants Funds. The commissioners received a resolu- tion from the County Board of Educa- | tion asking for the immediate sale of the $336,000 in bonds, authorized at the last session of the Legislature, for the provision of funds for new school con- struction in the county. It was pointed out that the increase in the school pop- ! ulation makes it necessary to have these funds now, so that the construction work can be started during the current Summer. The board directed its clerk to adver- tise the bonds for sale immediately. ‘The commissioners also ordered con- demnation proceedings instituted for | the, acquisition of a right of way for a county road 30 feet wide and 528 feet long from the Rockville pike south of Rockville to a bridge over the Bal- timore & Ohio Railroad tracks through | the land of Philander C. and M. A. Johnson. There is said now to be a roadway there, but it is not a public highway. The matter was presented to the commissioners by Attorney Sted- man Prescott. Income Reduced. The incomé of the county will be reduced approximately $800 a year ‘under & ruling of the State auditor, who . informed the commissioners that the fines in the Police Court as a result of convictions for common law offenses must be sent to the State. Heretofore, these have been kept in the county fund. The step was taken as a result of a new law, it was said. ‘The county commissioners took under advisement the request of County nt O. W. Anderson for an addition- $200 for the expenses of the latter’s |- assistant in traveling over the county. ‘The agent last year recelved $500. Dr. Perry announced that he was o) to it, because, so far as he could learn, neither the farmers nor Farm Bu- reau wanted it.
