<br /> 18th - "At the last meeting you laid on :~ne table the matter of
<br />ttu-ity of $150~00.00 A & D Bonds,~and asked if the Sinking Fundhad funds available to redeem
<br />these bonds.
<br /> The Sinking Fund may have this amotuut of money on hand,but
<br />I do not feel that it would be proper for the Sinking Fund Commission to pay these bonds out
<br />of ft~uds that have been set aside for other specific bond issued. Should they do, you would
<br />have to issue other bonds to the Sinking Fund Commission to take rheim place.
<br /> So:~_etime ago, the S~nking Fttud Co~ission submitte~d a..~lo~
<br />range program f. or the redemption of bonds and ~ wouldrecommend that a meeting be hel~ wz~n the
<br />Sinking Fund Commission in order to determine whether or not the City Council is in accord wid
<br />their program, tiowever, if the Council so desires, I v~ii v~ite the Sink-
<br /> im~ Fund Commission and request that_ they pay these $150,000.00 A & D bonds when they mature."
