A Chance For Valley School
Districts

A real benefit to harassed taxpayers Of the Rio
Grande Valley who are finding it almost impossible
to meet tax payments to support existing bond issues
lies in the announcement by Jesse Jones. head Of the
Reconstruction Finance corporation. that loans from
that body may now be made to school districts for
the purpose Of refinancing outstanding bonded in
debtedness.
Keeping in mind the savings made possible to
landowners Of our water districts which took adj
vantage Of RFC loans to refinance at from so cents
to 70 cents on the dollar, and at q lower interest
rate, It appears to The Brownsville Herald that VAL
ley school districts should jump at the opportunity
offered.
No definite figures are at hand, but it is safe to
assume that practically every school district in the
Valley is either in actual default on its outstanding
bond obligations, or viii be in default soon. Many
Of them have refunding agreements
which in turn will eventually go into default.
Unless holders Of our school district bonds are Of
a radically different mind than the holders of water
district bonds. 1t should be q comparatively easy
matter to reach an agreement with them for a cash
pay-off, financed by an RFC loan, at q saving that
should run from IS to so per cent Of the face value
Of the bonds. with additional savings to be derived
In the future from a lower interest rate.
Those Of us who are at all in touch with the situa-
ton know that our school district finances are in a
most critical condition.; we further know that the
necessity Of maintaining high valuations in order to
derive sufficient funds from the slO0 maximum limit
tax rate works hardshipS on real estate holders that
should be eliminated.
The opportunity offered is one that should not be
missed.
1t would appear to The Brownsville Herald that all
Valley school districts should form themselves into a
central organization for the purpose OF treating with
bondholders and working out a r~efunding agreement,
which agreement In turn would be submitted to the
Reconstruction Finance corporation along with the
loan applications Of the various districts.
To work out these agreements and push the loan
applications will take time and money. The saving
to be made through a central organization to work
out the agreements and prosecute the loan apphca-
tions should be great.
No great confusion would be created by the hand
ling OF the several refunding agreements through a
central office, as it will undoubtedly be found that
the same bond men will be representing the bond
holders OF practically all Of the districts
The opportunity Is here to ease the taxpayers load
An a most practical fashion.
The Brownsville Herald urges Valley school districts
to grasp that opportunity.
