GENEROUS TERMS TO INVESTOR

STOCK READILY.

SNAPPED UP

London, Nov. 20. British investors have subscribed eight times over for £6,000,000- worth of 3 per cent, stock, offered to them by the Central Electricity Board at a price of £95 for £100 of stock. And yet behind this routine and somewhat stodgy announcement lies some very novel financing. So novel, in fact. that while the Government, through the Central Electricity Board, with one hand beckons to investors to subscribe to thin stock, with the other hand it sternly forbids trusteen to invest in

it.

There is now outstanding £62,- 320,000 worth of Central Electricity stock-used in the development of the famous "Grid" which has tied together the electric power stations of England, Scotland and Wales- in which trustees are forbidden to invest the funds of their wards. And yet the market considers it on excellent investment, well secured by the entire plant and future in- come of the "Ġrld."

The reason for this restriction is that the Board, when it was or- ganised in 1926 by Act of Parlla-

ment, was given special permired
