Fredericksburg Pool Plan Delayed by Bond Sale Rules
Fredericksburg officials explain they will not issue 50 000 bonds for a municipal pool until they can sell them by competitive bids. Voluntary credit restraint committees have pressured banks and bond houses to withhold purchases without approval, delaying the project. The board has studied similar pools and cites inflation and defense concerns, promising to move quickly once restraints are lifted and bonds can be sold legitimately.
