The city Of Toronto wanted money for local improvements and ad- vertised a sale of local improvement debentures. No fewer thaai 23 tenders were received from financial institu- tions itt various parts of Canada and the 'United /States. Seven of these ten- ders came from New York. The en- tire issue was Sold at .081 above par. One parcel, amounting to $750,000, is payable in one 'year, and .the remainder in two years. The city la Toronto used to dispose of its securities by private sale, (but (this :experience with competi- tive 'tenders has proven so satisfactory that it will probably be followed in many cases In ttheifuture. In fact, ar- rangements are already :being made for offering oit, new eseue in 'June.. Other 'indications point (Also .to better financial conditions. Ontario companies holding Iarn funds for. investmeot, such, for example, As insurance com- panies, are taking a new interest in life, and during the last few weeks have 'done considerable buying of local securities. There is also a noticeably freer suppl,ei of money for commercial purposes. f Money seems to be moving a 11tt13 more freely, .eo far as Ontario financ- ing is concerned. The province and the city 'of Toronto .have both been able to sell fair quantities sof paper in the last few days. Provincial Treasurer McGarry has completed arrangements for the(' sale Of (Ontario bonds amount- ing to 1$00C1,000 to New York 'financial .interests. The bonds are sold .at kVA. - 38, less a brokerage commission of three fourths 'of one iber .cent.,. which is con - sidered by looal people to be a pretty good, 'price. The bonds are five per cent, maturing in five years .and .are similar to the lot frecently sold in the province. They are 'subject to provincial and mu- nicipal taxes and 'to the provincial suc- cession 'duties. , The sale of these bonds is of more than 'ordinary importance to the prov- ince in its effect upon Ontario credit, There is a provincial loan a £300,1100 coining due in London on March 1st The prospects were that the province would have to -apply for an extension ineteacl tof ;meeting this debt on matur- ity, and while there was little doubt that tan extension would, be .granted on • * The 'colonization road department of the provincial administration, has is- sued; a trephrt an - the year's work in road -building and in actual coliniza- tion. This •aeport is calculated to open the 'eyes of even Ontario people in re- gard to the 'class and extent of the work which Is being done. For example, there 'was (built during the year nearly 500 lmiles f new ,road. ,In round num- bers the expenditure on roads amount- ed 'to 4500000, including $122,000 con- tributed; by the ;province to the con- struction of Toadis by municipalities under provincial 'supervision. The gov- ernment pays tO per cent. of the cost of these teotad,s and 135 municipalities took advantage of the system during the year. Sixteen hundred 'miles of oid roads were also repaired and .238 bridg- es "erected. • e* • Premier Hearst has given an extreme- ly non-comMittal answer to a request fro•in the Ontario Young Manhood As- sociation that the eale of .liquor be prohibited during the war.
