Town Hall Finance Meets City Debt Plan
At a Town Council session the council debated eliminating the Town Hall debt with a long term loan. A repayment plan would liquidate portions biannually, aiming for debt freedom in ten to twenty years. Interest offered at £3 7s 6d per year would save about £1,200 over two decades. Cr Baulderstone moved to apply to the Savings Bank for a £3,300 loan with compulsory repayments over 20 years, Cr Pield seconded.
