County Bond Redemption Slashes $11,360 in Interest
Colorado County Auditor James F. Houlihan reports that the April action by the Commissioners’ Court to redeem 32 road bonds of 1947 lowered interest costs by $11,360. Nearly $67,000 in bonds were paid ahead, with many issues settled years early, reducing taxes and debt service while reflecting a broad decline in interest obligations.
