City Renews Big Note To Keep Credit Intact
The city won a renewal on $845,000 of notes after earlier refusals by a Baltimore holder and a Boston investor. A Baltimore bank board initially blocked the deal, but a five percent rate with brokerage for 90 days was granted, keeping the original renewal plan. The move delays a potential default and buys time to arrange long term bonds for the $2,225,000 floating debt.
