Unlimited small bond issue aids Hoover hoarding plan
President Hoover’s treasury plan calls for an unlimited small denomination bond issue to lure hoarders into circulation. The $50 $100 and $500 bonds, running one year, may carry about 1.5 percent interest and will be sold through banks starting March 7. Col Frank Knox heads the anti hoarding drive, with a broader effort echoing wartime Liberty Bonds.

Commission Studies Phone Firm Earnings For Rate Hearing
The City Commission examined a Southwestern Bell report showing a net annual income of 648 percent on a 1 894 983 investment including 210 433 as goodwill. A rate hearing was postponed again at the company's request and the mayor called the appraisal variance absurd. He noted toll revenue of 90 243 but only 38 495 credited, likening the discrepancy to a peanut stand. The commission aims to include rates in the franchise before June when the current agreement expires.
