Ansel Proposes Parley to Solve Bonds Problem
West Virginia State Treasurer W H Ansel Jr urged Gov Patteson to convene a conference of state officials and the Federal Reserve's Voluntary Credit Restraint Committee to work out issues surrounding the sale of revenue bonds for a $90 million veterans bonus. The Fed panel withheld endorsement of a $67.5 million sale portion as inflationary, leaving the issue unsold amid a lagging coal economy and prior authorizations. Also listed are several marriage applications from St Albans Morgantown Frame and Ble Chimney and 1618 Louden Heights Rd residents.
