Interest On City Bonds Takes Drop
Through the efforts of Mayor D A Galt and the city council, Dillon Montana bonds saw the rate cut from 5 6 to 4 percent. The move followed a bond call that prompted voluntary reductions by present holders. The change will save the city about 3 000 on the current issue and bolster Dillon as the lowest taxed Montana municipality. County taxes show more delinquent payments in November. Treasurer Norah Connelley cites a probable record, while total collections for the month exceed last year per Clerk Albert S Baker.
