Eldora School Levy Proposals Explain Bond Payment Plan
The Citizens' Committee and school board outline 1957 levy estimates at 29.50 miles, down from earlier years. A proposed bond-payment plan would align the present and future bond issues by staggered payments over five to fifteen years, with $410,000 in elementary bonds to be retired. Bonding terms assume about 23 percent interest, with hopes of selling bonds below 22 percent. County figures show 1956 valuation and maximum indebtedness, yielding new indebtedness of 281,065 after existing debt of 370,000 is subtracted.
