Strike Bound Plant Shows Hope for Territorial Loan
Treasurer Henry Roden reports progress in seeking a new loan after the initial attempt failed. Negotiations with external interests aim for up to 1 million dollars to cover obligations, with current warrants around 424 thousand and outstanding expenses near 4.6 million by January 31. Territorial finances hinge on anticipated revenue of about 2.5 million, leaving a gap of 2.1 million. Roden, a 54-year Territory veteran, vows the territory will pull through as in past crises.
