EAST REGARDS INDIANAPOLIS’ BONDS HIGHLY Unprecedented Bonuses Are Offered for Track Elevation Issue. High premium offers accompanying the bids of three Eastern brokers for the 1375,000 track elevation bond issue sold by the city yesterday indicate a marked Improvement in the market for this class of securities, particularly along the Atlantic seaboard. The bonuses offered are greater than have been received for any municipal bond issue since the war. Estabrook ft Company of Boston, Mass., the successful bidder, offered 82,250 premium. The Old Colony Trust Company and Etfffiunds & Company, two other Boston concerns, bidding Jointly, offered $1,050. Eldridge & Company, a New i'ork fism, proposed to give 81,000 for the issue. LAST BOND ISSUE FOB MOTORIZATION. The last pdvvious bond issue sold by the city was that of 8100,000. for motorization of the fire department. These went to the Meyer-Klser bank without premium. The issue bears sty per cent interest, while the track elevation issue bears Sty per cent, which accounts in small part for the greater attractiveness of the latter issue. This, in the opinion of City Controller Robert H. Bryson, however, is not enough to account for the greater demand for the latter Issue. The offers of the eastern firms. Mr. Bryson believes, simply Indicate that the Easterners have a higher regard for the local securities than have some local Arms and those of other Western cities. No local concern bid upon the issue sold Monday. The only bid upon the motorization issue in December was that of the Meyer-Kiser bank. ONE WESTERN FIRM BID FOR WHOLE ISSUE. Compton & Company of St. Louis participated In the bidding for the track elevation bonds, offering $5Bl premium. This with the Eastern offers were the only proposals for the entire issue. Taylor. Ewart & Company and A. B. Leach 4c Company of Chicago, however, submitted bids for the last $300,000 of the issue. These were not considered since inch advantageous offers were made for the entire amount. Municipal bonds of Indianapolis are regarded with high favor In the East,

Poor Farm Has Lure That Leads Brownie to Forsake Luxury Few, if any, would want to leave a fine home In the country and go back to the poor farm, of their own free will. But, then, “Brownie"—he might as well be called that, as no one knows his real name—is only a Scotch collie dog and not given to making fine distinctions. Several days ago “Brownie” appeared at the Marlon County poor farm begging a meal. He stayed for some time. The authorities did not care to have a canine hobo —gentleman vagabond that he was—hanging around, so they called up the city dog pound. The poundkeeper came and Brownie got a ride at the city’s expense. Being cooped up with a lot of other doggies wasn’t so bad for Brownie, for It only lasted a day or two. Representatives of the Indianapolis Humane Society, recognizing what a fine animal Brownie is. got him a home with a farmer in Brown County and down to the hills he was shipped. There were bunnies to chase and thousands of places to snoop into, but apparently the scenery did not appeal to Brownie because it was only a matter of a day or so until he came loping back to the poor farm. History repeats itself. The dog-catcher came and again Brownie was carted to captivity. But Brownie was too fine a dog to stay locked np long. The Hnmane Society has procured another home for him, this time with a Marlon County farmer and there he is today—provided he Is not on his way back to the poor farm. Mr. Bryson said, because the city has only exhausted 50 per cent of its bonded indebtedness limit and in addition has more than 81,000.000 in its sinking fund. Eastern capitalists in Judging the financial stability of a city always subtract the amount in the sinking fund from the bonded which works to the advantage of the municipality with securities for sale.
