Port Townsend, Washington, October 5th, 1936.
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
Port Townsend, Washington.
Gentlemen: -
On Saturday, September 26th, pursuant to request, I discussed with Mr. John P.
Lycette, attorney for the Woodmen of the '.Yorld, the matter of refunding the let issue of
general obligation bonds of the City of Port 'Tovrnsend, now in default.
;.r. Lycette assures me that within the very near future that he will have a plan
to submit to the city council concerning the liquidation of this issue for either ratifica-
tion or rejection.
The plan embraces the purchasing by the three principalcholdors of the four or fi
individual bonds hold deparately. Iie stated t4� these isolated holders are difficult to
deal with in view of the fact that each hnvaran abiding faith in the stability and integrit
of the past and present members of the city council of the City of Port Townsend that all a
loath to let their individual bonds go for loss than a premium.
Until something definite is worked out, I reconm±end that you follow the past reco'
medations of Mir. Christian, our City Clerk, and proceed to an extension of an annual levy
that will retire all outstanding bonds and interest within a definite period of time.
I am reluctant to advise the city council to enter into any sort of an exchange
agreement with interest at 5;rp until after the November, 1936 election decrees whether or
not the present 40-mill initiative passes or not in its present form.
Respectfully, W. J. Daly, City Attorney.
Communication was ordered filed for future reference.
