Vernal City Obtains Partial Bond Loan for Waterworks
In 1931 Vernal City floated a 50000 bond issue to fund a waterworks replacement program. Six thousand dollars funded fall work while a bond sale struggled. In spring 1932 a 310000 call was made for pine, the bonding company could not handle more sales, and the balance remained. An RFGO loan application in August 1932 reduced the loan to 32000 after 6000 in work was completed.
