BANKERS'TRUST
BIDS ON BONDS
Has public sentiment already ex
ercised its Influence on the bank
ers' trust?
For months and months the port
commission bonds failed to receive
any higher offer than SS cents on
the dollar, as The Star told you the
other day.
Then last Thursday came Com
missioner Bridges' resolution, fol
lowing close on the heels of a pop
ular bond sale in Portland, to sell
the West Seattle Ferry bonds,
drawing five per cent interest, to
the people direct.
No official action has been taken
on the resolution yet.
But already It has exerted an in
fluence on the bond market that
augurs exceedingly well for Com
missioner Bridges' plan.
On Saturday, it seems, a repre
sentative of the bankers who have
been bidding on the general im
provement bonds of the port, which
only carry 4 1 3 per cent, raised the
prevloua bid to 90 cent* cn the
dollar.
"But that is too low yet," says
Bridges. "I shall never consent to
sell it at such a low figure. They've
got to do better than that."
