There followed a geners.l discussion of financing for
the watermain improvement. in Delphian Heights, the advantage
to the area in securing the lowest interest rate possible,
and the minimum, of risk involved inasmuch as 130 homes and
approximately 10 vacant lots comprise the area. It was
contended that the interest rate on a pure special bond
issue might run as high as 6d1o. Trustee Pinch suggested
that the matter be delayed to investigate what inters-ct
rate could be secured. Mr. Kane stated that a;_ccept�snce
of the warrant to the City of Minneapolis hinged on the
determination of the method of financing and hence action
by the Council was required to avoid delaying commencement
of the work beyond this Ya:ll.

of general obligation bonds for the Delphian Heights
