Refunding of Municipal Bonds Delayed By City Council
The City Council met Monday and discussed delaying the refinancing of bonded municipal indebtedness until late 1939 to secure greater interest savings. Finance officials suggested postponement to year end so any new bond issue could avoid warrants, giving the city a clean slate. A survey showed several non taxables and regular term bonds with varying due dates and amounts, totaling about 38 thousand outstanding, with refinanced totals and warrants to be considered for inclusion in the program.
