Dear Sir:- your relative to keeping dsufficient your eionleys ois ilhandin New ning in aYork oCity toomeet lany acoupons 11 1-1 .I i I ession of June 19/2B c presented through the Fiscal Agency of the State of.*Vashington in New York. The City is legally bound to pay such coupons in New York if coupons are pre- sented there, and you can understand our feeling when we have been.so insistant tha the money be available in New York for any coupons that are presented there. I re alize that it will put the City to some expense and after talking the matter over with my associates, I have a suggestion which I believe will solve the situation amicably for both ourselves and the City of Port Townsend: It will be possible For the First National Bank of Port Tovrnsend to ndtify its New York Correspondent to communicate with the Fiscal Agency of the State of "ashi - ton and instruct them to honor any coupons presented there and charge them against the account of the First National Bank of Port Townsend. In this way money will not need to be deposited in New York to take care of coupons presented there and at the same time no ernbarassment will arise from any coupons being rejected for paymen in New York and the credit of the City of Port Townsend will not be impaired. I feel that it is quite important that this matter be taken care of and I am sure that under this plan your Council and the First National Bank will be willing to cooperate with us. Very truly yours, B1yth,Witter & Co. By D. N. h4cDonnell P.S. Please let me know immediately if this plan meets with your approval. From George 17elch, Vice-Pres.. to -wit: - First National Bank, Port Townsend, `lash., June 18, 1928 Miss Grace Pitcher, City Treasurer, Port Townsend,, dash. Dear Miss Pitcher:- In view of the fact that the water bonds specifically state that coupons are payable at the option of the holder, either in New York or at your office, it is possible that there might be a legal liability for assessed expenses such as a protest fee and in view of the letters and conversations with the bond house, we recommend that you have us send to uor New York correspondent the estimated amount of funds necessary to take up coupons due at the different interest periods, and we will authorize them to pay coupons presented as they fall due, there. Thu Cou- pons, of course, that may be presented here we can take up promptly out of the fund sent to New York and make the adjustment without bothering you. It is understood that there is approximately 'P'350,000. 5z,�o' bonds sold out of town and some $25,000. 6% bonds sold out of town that coupons on which may be presented at New York. This would require 4a10,375• in New -York to meet them, and if you wish to have us do this for you, please deposit this amount on or before the 20th in order that we may -get the funds there in time and make arrangement with our correspondent. Yours very truly, George Welch, Vice Pres. It was moved by Councilman Zuenell, seconded by Councilman Ialanson, that the Finance Co:,mittee and the City Treasurer make arrangements with the First National Bank to take care of interest due as outlined in the correspondence from Blyth, ,'!it ter & Co., and George Welch of the First National Bank.
