heritnres Were issued hi •small de•
nominations they might be sold .en.
tirely in town and the interest parid
here. "Tho Geternfnent," lib re-
iumeked, did not hesitate to Irina
bonds as low as ono hutrdred dollars
and rI think it 'would ho good busi-
mess pan the part of the town to
ue debentures whroli it,wanld be
easy for the people .to take up,"

be longer than twenty years, "If
