Local Man Will Buy Bonds at 95 Cents on Dollar
Only one bid for the $20,000 bond issue was received by the city clerk. Felix Martzen offered $18,050 plus a $2,000 certified check to guarantee performance. His plan: pay as needed for the bonds with interest starting when funds are delivered, saving roughly $1,000 in interest and producing about 95 cents on the dollar. The city council gave no final action but appeared inclined to accept, noting street work could proceed this fall if sold at the figures proposed.
