Floodwall Right of Way Plan Offered to City
The Point Pleasant City Council adopted a motion granting a banking house a 15 day option on revenue bonds of 240000 dollars. The option offers 90 dollars per 100 face value or 216000 for the entire series at 3 percent interest to fund floodwall right of way. Total project cost is estimated at 2500000 dollars, far above the city share. Earlier in 1946 Nelson Browning Co withdrew a bid for 180000 in bonds at 2½ percent. Bond repayment would run four years to 30 years with annual installments. Mayor Krodel Clerk Brown and others attended.
