TO REFUND WATER.
WORKS BONDS
Original Issue to be Replaced by
New Issue-City Attor-
ney Resigns

At meeting of the city council
Tuesday night, an agreement was en-
tered into with the Lumbermen's
Trust Company of Portland to refund
the waterworks bonds, which draw 6
per cent, for new issue to draw 5k
per cent. The new issue will be in
creased by $4,000 or $4,000 to take up
the outstanding warrant Indebtedness
of the waterworks fund, created for
the most part by extensions of the
system during the last three years.
The waterworl1s bonds werS the
first bond issue authorized by the city.
They were issued in July, 1908, and
are known as 10-20s-that is, they
may be paid off in 10 years or run 20
years at the option of the city. The 10
years expired in July of last year. C.
P. Bilderback was mayor and E. K.
Hayes was city clerk when the bonds
were negotiated. The funds were used
to construct the waterworks system.
The new bonds will also be 10-20s. The
warrant Indebtedness draws per
cent. 1t is confidently believed that,
with this indebtedness of between
$4,000 and $4,000 cleaned up by the is
Buance of bonds, the waterworks sys-
tenn with its rapidly growing patron
age, will be not only self sustaining,
but also will create a sinking fund for
the retirement of the bonds when they
become due. The action of the city
is looked upon as wise business
move.
