DID GRID BOARD BLUNDER?

GENEROUS TERMS TO INVESTOR

STOCK READILY SNAPPED UP

London, Nov, 20. British investors have autíscribed elght times over for £6,000,000 worth of 3% per cent, stock, offered to them by the Contral Electricity Board at a price of £95 for $100 of stock. And yet behind this, routine and somewhat stodgy announcement Hes some very novel financing: So novel, in fact, that while the Governmant, through the Central Electricity Board, with one hand beckons to investors to subscribe to this stock, with the other hand it sternly forbids trustees to invest in it.

Thero la now outstanding £52,- 320,000 worth of Central Electricity stock-used in the development of the famous "Grid" which has tied together the electric power stations lof England, Scotland and Wales- in which trustees are forbidden to invest the funds of their wards. And yet the market considers it an excellent investment, well secured by the entire plant and future in- come of the "Grid."

a very naughty thing, and that in to pay dividends on its stock out of its capital. This provision was put
