which occurred I'm 1865. In 1856 It stood at 2.29,
but the following year had been reduced TO 2.16
Last year it went up to 2.22.
The reduction of the rate for 1850 is due to the
legislation of last winter which allows the interest
revenue bonds TO be paid out of the surplus income
from the Understanding portion of the Sinking Fund.

the ultimate redemption Of the longtime bonds
