this is the result, so far as the Continent is concerned,
of a great strike of coal miners in Austria; but even
if this were settled, the resumption of

probably do no more than mitigate the scarcity.
Some experimental shipments of American anthracite

More than this, by way of encouragement
to a continuance of the new trade, it would not be

In face of the dearness and the difficulty
of obtaining pig iron which has prevailed in Germany for some time past, it is surprising to find
from the re.urns received two days ago that the production of it in the Fatherland during the first two
months of the present year was only 1,279,219 tons,
against 1,282,779 tons in the corresponding period of
1899.
There is, moreover, an insufficient supply of

of an important increase is not promising, notwithstanding that new hematite mines are being opened

the Court.
The
was brought in the District Court of Travis Caunty on February 5, 1S96, by M. M. Crane,
who was then Attorney- General. The bill recited
that on Jaly 6 1889 the Waters-Pierce Oil Co. had
obtained a permit to transact business in Texas for a
suit
term of years. The State charged that the company
was operating under an agreement with the Standard
Oil Company in violation of the Texas Anti- Trust
laws of 1889 and 1895. It was alleged that by this
agreement the United States had been divided up
among the various companies constituting the combination, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas and New Mexico
being assigned to the Waters-Pierce Oil Company.
In this latter territory none of the other companies
were allowed to compete, and the Waters-Pierce Company on its part was not allowed to compete in the

respective territories of these companies.
furthermore alleged that the Waters-Pierce Company
had made contracts in Texas with merchants, compelling them, on penalty of refusing to sell them oil
at all, to buy from the Waters- Pierce Company exclusively, and in other iastances binding the purchasers from that company to sell to the consumers at
prices fixed by it.
It is important to note that the matters relating to
the Standard Oil agreement per se were withdrawn from
the jury by the Court. The question passed upon by the
jury was whether the Waters-Pierce Company had
made the Texas contracts set up in the pleading.
The case was tried on June 15 1897 and a verdict
rendered in favor of the State. The Court therefore
entered a judgment canceling the permit of the
Waters-Pierce Company, and perpetually restraining
it and its agents from doing business within Texas.
The judgment distinctly provided that nothing
therein should be construed to in any way affect, apply to or prohibit the defendant's right to engage in
inter- State commerce.
The case was appealed to the
Court of Civil Appeals for the Third Supreme Judicial District of Texas, and by that Court affirmed.
The Supreme Court of the State refused a writ of
error, and then the case was carried by writ of error
to the U. S. Supreme Court.
McKenna, who delivered the opinion of the
U. S. Supreme Court, directed attention to the fact
that transaotions of inter-State commerce had been

was insisted that this and other provisions of the
Anti Trust Law limit the right to make contracts and
take away the property or liberty assured by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United
States.
But the Court denies that a corporation is a
natural person, or that the Texas statutes in withholding from a corporation the privilege of transacting business, except in accordance with certain prescribed conditions, is depriving it of any of the rights
guaranteed by the Federal Constitution. The courts

—A decision in a test suit, of
much
importance to banks in
was rendered by the Appellate Division of the
Supreme Court this week. The par value of the stock of the
Mercantile National Bank is $100. It was assessed at $143
per share in 1S96 for the purposes of taxation. The bank
this State,
contended in the lower Court that, while the assessments on
realty are much below the value of the property, assessments
on bank stock have been made at about its market value. It
was shown, indeed, that real estate in this city was assessed
in 1896 for about two-thirds of its value, and the bank asked
'that the courts enjoin the collection of more than 65 per
cent of the amount of tax assessed on its stock for that year.
The lower court held that there was no provision of law requiring that assessment on real and on personal property
should be equal, though th j Legislature had, except in cases
not involved in this controversy, sought to equalize such
taxation. As, however, it is not required that there should
be suoh equalization and as the bank had no right to seek to
enjoin the collection of part of the taxes, the Court diemissed the complaint. Appeal was taken to the Appellate
Division, which sustained the lower court, but the bank was
given leave to appeal to the Court of Appeals.

article in the

last

It is interesting to note that the Continental Insurance
Company of this city (F. C. Moore, President, and Henry
one of the very few companies
that were able to show an underwriting profit in 1899. The
company ranks among the largest or the fire insurance companies, and its premiums earned in 1899 reached $3,748,445,
and its losses and underwriting expenses incurred in the
same year were $3,733,779, leaving an underwriting profit of

altogether that showed any profit at all on their business of
Not1899, while the other 118 netted an underwriting loss.
withstanding the unsatisfactory state of the fire insurance
business, the Continental was able very greatly to further
strengthen its condition during the twelve months. It had a
net income from investments during the year of $409,110,
while there was an increase in the market value of the securities held, etc., of $3S1,984, making the total investment
income and accretion in 1899, $791,094. The dividends incurred in 1899 were only $250,000, and as a consequence
there was an increase in net surplus during the year of $555,760.
No other company made so large an addition to its net
surplus during the year, and no less than 91 companies saw

Clearings by Telegraph.— Sales of Stocks, Bonds, &c.—
The subjoined table, covering clearings for the current week,
usually appears on the first page of the Chronicle, but on
account of the length of the other tables is crowded out
once a month. The figures are received by telegraph from
the leading cities. It will be observed that as compared with
the corresponding week of 1899 there is a decrease in the
aggregate of 13 3 per cent. So far as the individual cities are
concerned. New York exhibits a loss of 14 9 per cent, and
the declines at other points are: Boston 18*2 per cent and
Philadelphia 14 per cent. Baltimore records a gain of 8-8
per cent, Chicago 10'5 per cent, St. Louis 2*8 per cent and
New Orleans 104 per cent.

Since the result of the loan has been known there has been
an improvement upon the Stock Exchange. Business is still
restricted partly by the lock-up of so much money and partly
by the great scarcity that is sure to continue for some weeks
yet; while almost as soon as the ease returns to the market
the Easter holidays will come on. Still, there has this week
been decidedly more activity than for a considerable time

has been more buying here than for a good while.
deal of the buying, of course, is by the professional operators;
but there is a fair amount of investment by persons who
recognize that the prosperity of the United is now well secured and will continue for a long time, and who also are
attracted by the prospects of special properties.
There has also been better business in Argentine railways,
and there is more inclination than for some time past to buy
British railway stocks. Foreign securities generally continue to be neglected, and there is exceedingly little doing in
mining securities. Until the war is brought to an end people are naturally doubtful whether the Boers may not attempt
to inflict as much damage as possible upon the mines, especially by destroying mining machinery. There are also
rumors that disturb the public of an intention to destroy
Johannesburg on the approach of the British forces. All
these rumors deter buying, but it is noteworthy that there is
not selling worth speaking of. There has for some little
time past been selling by French and German holders, but
British holders have practically sold nothing. The market

body cares to add to his holdings until he is sure that no
great damage will be done to the mines.
Meantime trade continues wonderfully good. The sending out of so many men to South Africa and the chartering
of so many ships has had scarcely any effect in interrupting
business. From every quarter the reports are most satisManufacturers, indeed, all join in declaring that

nev-^r have they been so busy before.
Money, as stated above, has been made exceptionally
scarce by the applications for the new war loan. The allotments are now in progress, and the general expectation is
that next week there will be greater ease, and that in April
there will be two or three weeks at least of decided ease.
Very few careful observers, however, think that money will
become really plentiful during the present year. In Germany
money is even scarcer than here. Already as much as 7 per
cent is being offered by borrowers for the Stock Exchange
anxious to make preparation in good time for the settlement
that is coming on at the end of the month. There is a hope
in Berlin that money may become easier in April, as the payments on account of interest and dividends will be very
large; but even the most hopeful are agreed that the ease
will not last long, and few expe<;jt that the Imperial Bank
will be able to lower its rate of aiscount from 5)^ per cent.
The impression is that about midsummer the rate will be
raised, and everywhere all over the Continent money is also
dear except in Paris, where the supply is very plentiful and

sterling has just been arranged for by Russia. Nominally it
is raised by the Banque de la Noblesse, which is a Government institution that lends on mortgage to the great landed
proprietors. It is not very many months ago that this bank
borrowed five millions sterling in Paris, and its success in
raising another loan so soon is not a little remarkable.
Rassia has also borrowed half a million sterling for the purpose of paying off the Persian loan which was placed here in
London some time ago by the Paris banks. This is in fulfilment of the convention entered into by the Russian Government with Persia a month or two ago.
The India Council continues to sell its drafts very well.

the extent of 3 per cent; but 3 per cent of 3353^ millioDS sterling somewhat exceeds 10 millions sterling and the lockingup in the Bank of England of so large a sum naturally denuded the outside market. The Bank of England of course
met the demands of borrowers in a very liberal spirit, but

there is expected to be a surplus of £3,5'i3,000 in spite of the
famine. The cost of direct famine relief for the closing year
is £2,055,000. For the year beginning next month there is expected to be a surplus of £160,00", although the estimated

the India Council is expected to draw bills and telegraphic

three crores in India itself is anticipated.

During the week £170,000, all in bars, has been bought by the Bank,

purchase of 3.440,000 ounces silver for the coinage of the additional
«rore of rupees required for the next financial year. The cost of the

Railroad and Miscellaneous Stocks. The stock market
has been active and, although somewhat irregular, generally firm.
Transactions on the Exchange averaged nearly
8C0,C00 shares daily, and were fairly well distributed. Arbitrage operations were on a large scale, but it does not appear that the purchases greatly exceeded the sales. A noteworthy feature was the strength of prominent railway issues. Bait & Ohio advanced 63^ points, a large part of which
it has retained, and Pennsylvania was in active demand
above 14i, which was its highest record during the buoyant
period last year. The grangers were strong features. St.
Paul & Omaha sold 43^ points above the last previous sale,
and a gain of about 3 points was made by St. Pavil and North.
West. The local traction issues have ceased to be especially
prominent. Sales to realize profits, which were tempting in
view of the recent advance, were in evidence on Thursday
sufficiently large to encourage operations for the short account, and as a consequence there have been recessions
from the best prices of the week.
The iron and steel stocks were weak under the influence
of Federal Steel, which lost nearly 6 points on the announcement that dividends on the common stock are deferred
until next year. General Electric shows a net gain of nearly
4 points.
People's Gas adv&,nced on reports that harmonious
relations have been established with competing companies.

Federal Steel Company.
{Report for year ending Dec, 31, 1899.)
The annual report read to the stockholders at the annual
meeting on Monday is quoted by the daily papers in part as
follows:
Business. The activity in the iron and steel trade during
the calendar year increased largely the business done by the
constituent companies. The general advances in the market
prices for iron and steel during the latter half of the year,
however, did net correspondingly affect the net profits, for
the reason that a major portion of the tonnage of finished
products was sold during the latter part of 1898 and the first
part of 1899 at the low prices then prevailing. The order
books are reasonably well filled at the presi^nt level of prices,
and the results for 1900 should show considerable gain over
the net profits for 1899.

Pol'cy.—lt has never been the intention rr desire of the
company to secure a monopoly of any line of business. The
plan is to own and control sufficient iron ore, coal, coke and
limestone, and other raw products, tojsiapply all'of the mills
of the conetituent companies; to own and control adequate
facilities for tranpportatioo. both on land and water; to mannfacture and deliver finished steel, and to do all with the
greatest economy. The advantages expected through a union
of the constituent companies are baing fully realized.

concludes:
First, that the old company was Insolvent and had been for six
years prior to appointment of receiver. Second, foreclosure proceedings were instituted alone for the benefit of the bondholders, and the
stockholders derived no benefit under them. Third, the agreement
was alone a bondholders' agreement and the only interest or privilege
stockholders had was a right to buy new stock by paying new money.
Fourth, that there was no fraud in making the bondholders' agreement or in any of the proceedings, and nj interest of the old stock
holders was preserved in the new company.
The bondholders will appeal the case to the United States
Supreme Court.— V. 70, p. 381.

Houston & Texas Central Ry. Favorable Decision. The
United States Supreme Court has decided in favor of the company in the suit brought by the State of Texas against it, involving the validity of payments made in State warrants during
the Civil War on account of money borrowed from the school
fund of the State. The Texas State courts held the payments
to be invalid bacause the warrants were unconstitutional,
having been issued in aid of the Rebellion. These decisions
are reversed by the United States Supreme Court, which
holds that the payments in State warrants were made in
accordance with the provisions of the laws of the State in
force when the payments were made, and that the State cannot repudiate the credits which it gave the company therefor
on its books at the time the warrants were paid to it. The
amount involved was more than $1,000,000.

the annual fixed charges. The limit of the present power-house and
the present w heel-pit upon the west side of the canal has been reached,
and additional tuibines and dynamos can be established only bj the
construction of an additional wheel pit and an additional powerhouse.
After full discussion, a contract has been made for the construction of
a wheel pit sufflcient for the acoonamodation of eleven turbines and
dynamos. It is thought best first to make provision for six dynamos,
of which one is to be held as a reserve, and later to add the other Ave.
The cost of the wheel-pit, connecting-tunnels and power-house, and
of the eleven turbines and dynamos, will be approximately $3,oOO,000. which sum, when expended, will substantially double the present
income-producing power of the electric plant. The best practicable
mode ot providing the necessary funds is, in tbe opinion of the Boards
to be found through the issue of the debentures, convertible at par
into capital stock at par.
The debentures were accordingly offered at par to the
shareholders.— V. 68, p. 1133.

The average number of kilometers of road operated for the
year was 1,185-53 (736-67 miles), as compared with 1,060-60
kilometers (659'04 miles) for the year 1698, an increase of
124-93 kilometers (77-63 miles), or 11-78 per cent.
The branch from Bermejillo Junction on the Tlahualilo
Branch to Bermejillo was opened to the public for traffic on
August 1, 1699. This branch has been constructed for the
purpose of securing direct communication between this
Company's road and the tracks of the railroad owned and
operated by the Penoles Mining Company, which operates a
large smelter, and which, with other important mining enterprises in the vicinity, consumes and draws large quantities of fuel from the coal mines in the Sabinas Valley adjacent to this Company's road. As no provision has been
made in existing mortgages of the company for the construction of this branch, its cost has been paid for from the
current earnings of the Company and charged against capital account.

with 75-lb. rail, the lighter-weight rails taken up being used
in the construction of branch lines and extensions. The
average cost of maintenance per kilometer of main track
operated was $624 18, against $586 37 per kilometer in 1898.

nent local operator. Saturday and Monday, particularly Monday, there were weaker markets, prices for this crop deliveries declining rather sharply. Advices received from Europe
state that the less favorable reports from the cotton-goods
trade induced selling by Continental speculative holders of
cotton. The weaker advices from Europe prompted sellirg

the day prices showed an advance. European advices came
stronger than expected, the interior receipts showed an exceptionally small movement of the crop, and there was moderate buying by a prominent local operator based on the
strength of the statistical position. "Wednesday, prices advanced sharply. Foreign advices were stronger, the interior
receipts were small, and the buying for the account for a
large local operator continued. Thursday the market was
again unsettled. Firmer European advices and continued
buying for local account advanced prices early. At the advance there was considerable selling by commission houses

Advices from the South

selling by longs to liquidate accounts prices weakened slightly, closing at a decline of 2@ 5 points for this crop, and unchanged to 2 points lower for the next crop. Cotton on the
spot has been unsettled; prices declined l-16c. on Monday,
advanced 3^c. on Wednesday and l-16c. on Thursday. Today the market was quiet and unchanged at 2%c. for mid-

A considerable portion of the Sea Island cotton shipped to
foreign ports goes via New York, and somw limall amounts via
Boston and Baltimore. Instead of including this cotton for
the week in which it leaves the Southern outports, we follow
the same plan as in our regular table of including it when
actually exported from New York, &c. The details ot the
shipments of Sea Island cotton for the week will be found
under the head " Shipping News," on a subsequent page.

and for the three months since Jan. 1 the deliveries have
been 141,943 hales, against 29,315 brles last year. Importers
and speculators at New York and Boston on March 31 held
no stock, against ml at the corresponding date in 1899. and
the amount afloat for the United States reaches 53,015 bales,

Georgia.— Rains retarded farm work over entire State, but planting of cotton Is beginning in southern sections; ground too wet for
plowing and planting in central and northern sections.
Florida.— Farm work delayed during past week by continuous
rains, which have necessitated replanting In many Instances; cottonplanting begun In northern and central sections.
Alabama.— Rains frequent, ground too wet; preparation of land
three weeks backward; freezing weather in northern and central
counties first and middle of month: some cotton land prepared; little
cotton planted.
Misstssippr.— Because of excessive moisture and cold soil, general
farming operations somewhat later than usual; little preparation for
cotton-planting, except fertiUzinir.
Louisiana.— Up to middle of March weather was highly favorable,
and farming operations were about two weeks ahead of season; frequent rains and low temperatures last half month prevented field
work aud retarded growth; some cotton planted.
Texas.— Dry weather first of month in interior and too much rain
last decade over southeastern halt retarded farm work; otherwise
very favorable, and work generally well advanced; cotton planting

generally.

East India. Crop.— Under date of Feb, 10. the final forecast of outturn of the cotton crop for 1899-1900 in Madras
was issued as follows:
The reports for the current year show that the sowings recorded up
to the end of January represent an area of 1,281,000, or only about 5
per cent less than the average. The reports received from the local
ofticers show that the average rate of yield is estimated at 54 per
cent of the normal rate. Picking is already far advanced for Northerns, Westerns and Cocanadas, but as usual the harvest In the central
and southern districts will goonforalong time to come, and rain in the
future may increasBthe yield. The estimate framed for the current year
is that a total area of 1,369,000 acres may be sown with cotton, which is
nearly 12 per cent less than the usual area, and that owing to the fact
that the deflciency In area is large in those parts where the normal
rate of yield is largest, the actual outturn for the whole Pres-idency
will only amount to 93.500 bales of 400 lbs. each, against 127,670
bales calculated as ths yield from the corresponding area last year.
It seems doubtful whether the crop will prove more than half tie
usual size, but, as already stated. It Is too early to estimate the rate of
yield in the southern district.
The Calcutta "Capital" of March 8 refers to the crop in
the Bombay Presidency as follows:
The area sown with cottou in the Bombay Presidency is 3,156,000
acres, or 39 per cent below the area of last year, and about 42 per
cent under the average for the previous tea years. The decrease Is
of the early rains, and to the total failure of the
later rains. Owing to the extremely unfavorable nature of the sea
eon, the crop has withered away in many places, and where it has survived has yielded a very poor outturn; the total yield for the whole of
the Presidency only comes to 93,800 bales of cotton, or about 9 per
cent of last year, and a little over one-tenth of the average crop.

Corn meal has been in fairly active demand and higher.
Speculation in wheat for future delivery has cootinued

crop prospects in France. The crop news from the Obi Viiley States has been le?s favorable. There were predictions
of decreased shipments from India and th ere also were re

Oats for future delivery have been moderately active and
at advancing prices. Sympathy with the rise in corn values
has had much to do with the advance, al'hough limited
country offerings and a more active export demand also have
been factors in the advance. Locally the spot market has
been fairly active and prices for mixed oats have advanced
slightly.
To-day the market was easier, in sympathy with
the decline in other grains. The spot market was quiet.

the grain crops in the various States for the month of March,
sammaiiziog them as follows:
of the Climate
East of the Mississippi River, except in the Southern States, the season has been generally backward and unfavorable for farm work, with
exccHi-ive Tains in portions of the Gulf Statt-s, and heavy snows in
portions of the Lake region and New England. On the Paoitic Slope
andintiie Rocky mountain districts exceptlonall.v favorable conditions
have prevailed, and fanulnt: operations are progressing rapidly. Unfavorable reports regarding winter wheat continue from Wisconsin,
Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania. New Jersey, auil portions of Missouri,
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Maryland; elsewhere the crop looks
avorable and enters spring in excellent condition. Outside of a limited area In southern California winter wheat on the Pacific coast is
well advanced and very promising. Some spring wheat has been
sown over the southern portion of tbe spring-wheai region, and also in
Montana, where the season Is unusually advanced. Corn is being
nlanted in tbe Southern states, some as far north as North Carolina.
In 8outh<»rn Texas the bulk of tte crop has been planted. Oats are
being sown in Kansas, Missouri, Ohio and Kentucky, and are coming
up to good stands in Oklahama, Texas. Arkansas, Tennessee and
MissieslDpl. Reports of winter kllliug of the fall crop are received
I
from Virginia and Georgia.
The movement of breadstuffs to market as indicated in the

quiet during the past
For seasonable needs buying is
a strictly hand-to-mouth basis. For fall specialties in cotton
goods, such as are always dealt in early, there has been a
moderate demand, and there has been some business placed

The value of the New York exports for the year to date has
been $5,454,370 in 1900, against |4, 164,054
1899.
Business in bleached cottons has been dull, but while the
recent hardening tendency has disappeared, prices on all
leading tickets in medium and fine goods are maintained.
Low-grade bleached are somewhat irregular. The ordeis for
wide sheetings have been limited, but supplies are scanty
and prices firm. Home demand for heavy brown cottons
indifferent and buying for export small. Prices steady for
spots but irregular for distant deliveries.
In fine brown
sheetings prices are firm, but fine gray goods are barely
steady, second-hand selling of these at concessions still being
a prominent feature. Cotton flannels and blankets well sold
and firm. Denims continue scarce; prices firm. Other coarse
colored cottons are well sold and an occasional advance of
3^c. quoted for cheviots and hickory stripes.
Kid-finished
cambrics steady, with limited demand.
The only new feature in the market for prints is an advance of J^c. in American black and white and gray prints to 4^c. per yard. Other
lines unchanged, with a moderate demand.
Ginghams are
firm, with an average business doing. Print cloths neglected
in regulars at 33>^c., and only a limited business in odd goods,
with tendency in buyers' favor.
Foreign Dry Goods. Business has been on a quiet scale
this week in all departments.
Dress goods continue firm,
with chief demand for black varieties.
Silks have ruled
quiet at previous prices and a moderate demand reported for
ribbons and laces, with a steady tone.
Linens are firm, but
sales moderate.
Burlaps also firm; demand quiet.
Importations and Tl^arehonse W^lthdrawals of Dry Goods
The importations and warehouse withdrawals of dry goods
at this port for the week ending April 5, 1800, and since
January 1, 1900, and for the corresponding periods of last
year are as follows:

in fine cotton goods for the spring of 1901. Staple cottons
for forward delivery have been largely neglecteci and woolen
goods for fall have ruled quiet throughout. The market is
mainly interested just now in developments with the retail
trade. The reports which have come to hand so far with regard to this have not been entirely satisfactory. They compare well enough with last year, but do not show a movement equal to supporting the business done at first hands or
with jobbers. The weather is said to have checked to some
extent the retail business for spring, but the same reports
state that indications favor a material expansion in consumptive demand just as soon as weather conditions improve. Meanwhile there is no change of moment in the temper of the primary market. Some sellers of staple cottons
are slightly easier to deal with for distant deliveries on spot
goods, and for near positions prices are maintained.
Woolen Goods.— Tne market for men's- wear fabrics is
strong on all such staple lines as serges, clays and other
plain worsteds, and in most lines of staple woolen goods. On
these the mills are well sold ahead, with barely an exception.
In fancy fabrics conditions are irregular. Some lines of
fancy cassimeres have been slow sellers and have been reduced in price without accelerating their movement. The
demand for some lines of fancy worsteds has also proved disappointing. This week's business has been on a limited scale
in all directions. Plain overcoatings are as a rnle well situated and firm in price. Cloakings continue dull and without special feature. The demand for woolen and worsted
dress goods has fallen to moderate dimensions. Staples are

passed by the State Legislature and approved March 3, 1900.
The Court held that inasmuch as the law carries with it an
appropriation of money that, under Section 2, Article 10, of
the State Constitution, the vote should have been determined
by ayes and noes, and the names of the persons voting for and
against the same should have been entered on the journals
of the respective houses, the Constitution requiring a majority of all the members elected to each House to give it the
force of a law. It appears from the legislative records that
the vote was not taken and entered as provided for in the
above-mentioned section^ and therefore the Court holds the
law invalid.

Chicago, 111. Large Prospective Issues Suggested. City
Comptroller Kerfoot, in his annual report for the fiscal year
ending with Dec. 31, 1899 (published this week), suggests the
refunding of the bonded and floating debt of the city, for
which purpose about $28,000,000 of bonds will be required;
also that provision be made for the issue of additional bonds
from time to time to perfect public improvements, such as
bridges, docks, tunnels, streets and street intersections, hospitals, electric light plants and public buildings, bringing
the total of indebtedness up ultimately to $70,000,000. Before
the present debt can be increased, however, a decision must
be obtained from the courts as to whether the 5% of the
value of the taxable property (constitutional limit of indebtedness (means the jidl value or the assessed value. The
Comptroller also recommends that action should be taken in
the Legislature to exempt municipal bonds from taxation.

to issue $2,500,000 4% funding judgment bonds carried by a
