Dear Sir:- y nead Managers B quarterly
I was instructed b our Board of gars at its recent regular uerterl
meeting to inform you that the Board will consider the acceptance of refunding bonds for
T,r
the bonds owned and held by the Association and now in default, upon condition that new
bonds will be at the same rate of interest, payable semi-annually and that there will be
a'
no loss in interest, but merely an extension of time of payment of principal. The Board
cannot consider the purchase of the entire proposed refunding issue. A further condition
1
precedent to such a proposed exchange, in event refunding bonds are issued, is that such
bonds and the legal proceedings under which they are issued, would be subject to my of€i-
cial approval, and also that an approving opinion by some recognized bond attorney would
accompany transcript of proceedings,and in the event of making the exchange, proper certif:
bonds would be furnished the
Cates showing the cancellation or destruction of the refunded
in due coprse of business. I call your attention to these matters for your
Association
guidance in the proposed issuance of refunding bonds.
Please advise me at an early date of your further purposes and steps in this con
r
nection in view of the contents of this letter.
Yours very truly,
John L. Schweigert, General Attorney.
The City Clerk stated that he had replied to the foregoing letter to the effect that
it would be presented to the City Council at its next regular session and that the Attorne

filed for future reference.
