City Boards File Estimates for The Coming Year
City auditor Bernard Keating urged all boards officers and committees to file annual requisitions for funds for the upcoming fiscal year with him before January 1. The sinking fund commission asks 17000 of which 6000 is in the First district. Bridgeport plans to abandon straight term bonds as soon as possible with the last paid on Jonuane 2924 200. In July 1919 Bridgeport will pay off 400000 bonds after 30 years. Over five years the remaining 500000 bonds of straight 30 year terms will be taken up. The serial bonds are viewed as down to the minute in municipal securities.
