est percentage of increase, 10.22.
The Eastern States come next
with 9.16.
Comparing loans and dis
counts on the dates September

Bonds of New
port Special District.
Special to Independent.
The issue of $45,000 in 5*4
per cent bonds of Newport Spe
cial School District was sold Fri
day to the First National Bank
of this city for $45,022.50, thus
bringing slightly in excess of
par. There were there other
bids received bv the Board of
Education, the second highest
bid being by the Arkansas Bank
& Trust Company of this city,
who offered par.
The bonds were first adver
tised to be sold as drawing (5 per
cent interest and the board
found the bonds so desirable an
investment, that all offers were
refused and the letting of bonds
drawing 5per cent interest
was advertised, all bids to be in
Friday, January 5, 1912, when
the board met and awarded the
contract as stated.
$1000 was put up as a guaran-!
tee of good faith and the re-J
mainder of the purchase price'
will be paid over to the board
April 1 in ample time for the
first expenditures toward the
construction of Newport’s mod
ern school building. The bonds
are to be dated February 1.
The action of the board in re
advertising the bonds at 51/>
per cent has been proven good!
judgment and foresight and the j
members are to be commended!
for securing this valuable sav-!
ing to the district.
