Council Acts To
Issue $1SO,OOO
Worth Sewer Bonds
Real Estate Tax Will
Retire Issue Over
25-Year Period

Initial action in issuing $180,00O
in bonds to be levied against Bluffton
real estate as a payment for part of
the cost of the towns new sewage
disposal system was embodied in an
ordinance passed by municipal coun-
ell at a meeting Tuesday night.
Under the procedure set in motion
by Tuesdays legislation 180 bonds
will be issued with face value of
$1,000 each.
They will be dated September /,
and are to be sold on open competi-
tive bidding at an interest rate anti
cipated to be three and one-half per
cent or lower, according to bonding
firms estimates.
Issued for a 25-year period the
bonds will be retired at the rate of
$1,000 per year for the first 20 years,
and $4,000 annually for the next five
years.
The S180,0O0 bond issue was au-
thorized by Bluffton voters several
years before contracts were let for
construction of the sewage disposal
system, but no move has been made
previously to sell the bonds or col
lect funds for their retirement by
adding the levy to the tax duplicate.
Original financing of the sewage
disposal system included the $1S0,000
levy against real estate; a sewer
revenue bond issue of $155,00O, being
retired from sewer rental charges,
and the projected $250,000 special as
sessment which will be eliminated as
a result of the town vote to sell out
electrical distribution facilities and
use part of the proceeds to pay off
the assessment.

Triplett Company
InstdlIs First
Color TV Set Here

Buttons first color television
receiver was set up this week in
the engineering laboratories of
The Triplett Electrical Instru-
ment Co.
Although the receiver will be
used primarily for experimental
work by the company's engineers,
it will be connected with an an
tenna so that color telecasts can
be received.
In some respects the 15-inch
screen of the color receiver ap-
pears small as compared with
the 21-inch and larger screens
common today on most regular
models.
Color televisiOn, however, is
following a pattern similar to
that of its black and white
predecessor, for until only recent
ly 12-inch screens were the larg-
est used for the color receivers.
Initial adjustments of the color
receivers are much more COM
plicated than those of regular
receivers.
