District enabling the District to spread
the cost of this development over a
longer period of years, then it was felt
that the project should go forward at
slower rate. Senator Bingham had
reference to the separate bill which

for a loan of $16,000000 for Municipal
Center developments to be repaid by
the District at the rate of 100000 a
