College district refinances bonds to save money
The College Community School Board issued 1.86 million dollars in revenue bonds to retire 1970 bonds at 6.73 percent and replace them with 4.99 percent notes. The refinancing, overseen by Northern Trust Co and Shaw McDermott, will save about 124 thousand dollars and cover a 2 million dollar 1970 issue for a junior high addition and an elementary school. Bonds mature in 1982 and 1989 respectively, and the move follows a similar action by the Manson School District earlier this year.
