Each bid shall state that the bidder offers par
and accrued interest to date of delivery and shall state
the premium, if any, offered on each issue of bonds.
The premium on each issue must be stated separately.
Each bid shall also state the interest rate or rates
not to exceed six per cent (6 %) per annum, payable
annually for the first year and semiannually thereafter,
at which the bidder offers to buy said bonds. Each rate
must be a multiple of 1/4 of 1%. Not more than three
interest rates may be bid on each issue of bonds.
The rate or rates on one issue need not be the same
as those on the other issue. Bids must be for the
entire $565,000 bonds offered and no bid for a part
of said bonds will be considered. Bids will be compared
on the basis of the lowest net interest cost to the city,
measured from the date of the bonds, on the entire $565,000
of bonds. The bonds shall be sold for cash only and for
not less than par and accrued interest to date of delivery.

bank or trust company in the amount of $16,950, payable
to the order of the City of El Segundo must accompany each
proposal as a guaranty that the bidder, if successful,
will accept and pay for said bonds in accordance with
the terms of his bid. The proceeds of the check accompany-
ing any accepted proposal shall be applied on the purchase
price, or, if such proposal is accepted but not performed,
unless such failure of performance shall be caused by any
act or omission of the City of El Segundo, shall then be
retained by the City. The check accompanying each un-
accepted proposal will be returned promptly.
At any time before the bonds are tendered for de-
livery, the bidder may disaffirm and withdraw the pro-
posal if the interest received by private holders from
bonds of the same type and character shall be declared
to be taxable income under present federal income tax
laws, either by a ruling of the Bureau of Internal Revenue
or by a decision of any federal court, or shall be
declared taxable by the terms of any federal income
tax law enacted subsequent to the date of this notice.

attorneys, approving the validity of said bonds will be
furnished the successful bidder at or prior to the date
