City To Retire 660,000 Bond Issue May
At a special meeting the Mayor and Aldermen voted 3 to 2 to withdraw a bill from the Legislature authorizing city authority to regulate tree trimming. The city will retire the 60000 sinking fund bond in May without new bonds, aided by a state forest permit and a recent audit showing excess cash to cover the debt. The tax rate was cut to 95 cents, and an older 4500 water bonds issue may be redeemed next May.
