Further Improvement

The City Council has also Outlin- ed plans for further municipal im- provements to be financed by the Public Works Administration.
 Local misconception of P. W. A financing makes an explanation de sirable. Ordinarily, when a bond issue is made and the issue is sold to a broker, the municipality is charged an interest averaging six per cent. Therefore, in order to give municipalities the benefit of neeedd improvements and to help put men to constructive jobs, Con gresS passed the Public Works Act of 1885 which act provides that if the |. s. Government considers a municipal project worthwhile the town may sell, to the Government, bonds to the extent of 55 per cent of the total construction cost of a project. The Government makes an outright grant for the balance of 4 3 per cent of the construction cost The bonds carry the low rate of four per cent interest and are refundable over a period of twenty to thirty years.
