Tom Rose Is Given Green Light
To Borrow Funds For Fire House

Town Manager Thomas Rose was
given the green light last Friday
by the Board of Aldermen to
borrow $40, 600 in short term notes

The notes will later be paid with
bond money.
The state permits town to sell
such short term notes IN antlclpa.

on town financing ~ short term
notes cost much less than do the
long term bonds, and w 1t gives
towns time to shop and get the
best buy for their bonds The use
of short term notes is particularly
