City refinances debts with first interest payment under new program
City officials report a $20 000 payment covering initial test charges on municipal obligations deposited under a new refinancing agreement. An additional $40 000 is on deposit to cover the rest of the initial charges. A special account at Phovia Bank and Trust Co will handle payments as bonds are refinanced, with most holders yet to accept the plan. City Manager F B M Knox touted progress and noted one bond holder refused to participate. The arrangement aims to reduce annual interest costs, with substantial savings over four years.
