Traer Bonds Paid Ahead of Maturity Amid Plant Debts
In Traer Iowa on April 23 officials report the city's total indebtedness excluding a $77,000 school debt stands at about $86,600. Of this heat and power bonds total $60,000 while the municipal electric plant handles the principal and interest on $48,000. Since 1919 the plant debt has been reduced by $12,000 with bond issues and overruns tied to electric plant acquisitions and a coal strike. The third bond issue of $12,000 issued in 1921 does not mature until 1923. The plant has met all bond and interest payments on the remaining $50,000 since 1928. Water and street bonds and overdrafts are discussed with transfers to balance funds and tax apportionments to cover expenses.
