THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 15, 1915, CI I COUNCIL TO. SUBMT CHANGES BONDING LAW TO ELECTORATE Most Important) . Provides Semi-Annual Interest Pay ments by Property Owner. DRAIN WOULD BE AVOIDED lfoasy at Tfmmt Must Be Adraaoad Ttom Onwnl Tnsd ul Carried . Half Tear. Provided amendments to the Ban croft bonding act agred upon by the council yesterday are adopted by the voters, property owners bonding their property for street and sewer improve ments will be able to pay the interest and v installments on the bonded amounts in semi-annual Installments instead of annual as at present. With this method in use the city may f pay toe interest on improvement bonds i -issued for. the improvements at the same time the Interest and install ments are paid by property owners, Instead of being compelled to advance money from the general fund to meet the semi-annual Interest payments. This, during years past, has eaused a heavy drain on the city's finances. This amendment was decided upon as the result of a conference held with bond brokers. It was also-proposed to change the act so the city could pay the .interest annually instead of eemi annuully. This met with the opposi tion of the bond buyers, who stated that annual interest paying- municipal "bonds were not as desirable as the semi-annual. The proposed amendments will al low proposed owners to 'bond where street or sewer assessments are more than $5. The minimum is now $25. It will also allow the issuance of bonds in denominations up to $1000. The maximum is now $603. . WANT PRESENT ACT GHANGED Present Itegrade Law Compels Doing Work by Divisions. So the O-W.
