State Bond Issue
Sold At Low Kate
(eoaonmd from am peso
The $28,369.000 issue is the larg-i
est in the history of the state and ;
"represents an accumulation of
- capital expenditures deemed to be j
necessary by the administration in
cooperation with the 115th General
Assembly," the secretary of stale
said.
Declaring that the 1.35 net inter
est cost is one of the lowest ever
achieved by any state in a bond
issue of comparable * amount, Mr,
McDowell said: "The thoroughness
in preparation by the issuing offi
cers and associates, including the
calling of two special sessions of
the legislature has been more than
justified by the many thousands of!
dollars saved the taxpayers of the I
state." ]
The $28,369,000 total comprised
bonds solds for six separate pur
poses.
Included in the total are: $10.
000,000 In school construction
bonds, $7,000,000 in state highway
bonds, $1,280,000 in highway re
funding bonds, $6,000,000 in bonus
bonds. $3,639,000 in general im
provement. bonds, and $460,000 in
Delaware State Hospital bonds.
It was announced Tuesday night i
in New York that the banking
group which bought the bonds re
offered them at prices scaled from
a yield of 0.66 per cent for those i
due Dec. 1, 1960, to a dollar price
of 97% for 1969 maturities.

FRANKFURT — U P)— Complete
men's suits are being offered in
Frankfurt for $6.00 and even less
these days. Street peddlers are
buying them and have a roaring
trade selling them in the outskirts
Two months ago the same suits
were priced at $33.C-0 to $36.00. The,
price fell when stores accumulated
surpins quantities of summer-1
weight suits. The peddlers brought
them up almost for nothing.

LUEBECK — (Æ*) — A young Ger
man girl refugee from the Soviet
zone succeeded in piercing the iron
curtain and making money from It.
In the British Zone resort of Tra
vemuende on the Baltic, she set up
a former Wehrmacht artillery
range finder. For the. equivalent of
a nickel you may peep through and
end try to find out what goes on in
the ueafty Soviet Zone.
