CREDIT AND REPUDIATION Yestdrddy we mod that imd reuin were to lie expected if Bond incurred a debt in exceiw of a million aollkra. What wt had eepeeially in mind wa the effect such a debt would have on the city's credit. Bend'n credit, let il he frankly Stated, has never heen of the highest rank. This is shown hy the fai t that all hut one of the city's bond issue.-; has had to bear a rate of 6 per cent. The one exception, the highway bonds of 1924, bear ", ' per cent. It is shown further in Ihe heavy discount to be charged the city in the ale of the $000,000 water bonds. One of thi fact on which credit is determined is the amount of the debtor's obligations. The greater the obligations the higher the rite of interest (subject to the regular fluctuations of Ihe bond market) and the harder the terms of sale. With 600000 in water bonds voted Bend will be under obliga tion lo pay over a million dollars in bonds in the next 25 years, to say nothing of interest charges. At the same time Bend will be wanting and needing from time lo time various things a city hall, or some sort of municipal building, some day additional fire equipment, street improvements bf various sdrts. The school districts are KoinK to need more school buildings if the city's growth continues. .Most of these are things the city WILL HAVE TO HAVK when the time comes. The purchase of the company's system and an extension to TumalO are not things the city U'M.i. HAVK TO HAVK but to go into debt for them to the tune of over $600,000. thereby making the city's direct and collateral debt over a million dollar-., will mean a hi;' difference in the cost of the things that MUST be had later. Interest rates will be higher. Discounts will be greater. The city's credit will be strained. If you vote the $600,000 in water bonds when the time comes not only will you have that sum to pay off but you will be put ting up the price of everything else the city buys on credit in the future. KEEP THE CITY'S CREDIT IN BETTKR SHAPE BY VOT ING DOWN THE WATER BOND ISSUE. Since the foregoing was written word comes to us of the action of the council declaring its intention, in case the water bonda tarry, "to vacate and annul (the) proceedings heretofore had for the sale of said bonds." In other words, the council proposes repudiation of the solemn contract of the city of Bend In order that it may seek a better price for the bonds than that i; hat already accepted. Has not this thing been already sufficiently messed up? Is more of a mess to be created? Last spring, on the invitation of the city of Bend, responsible bankers came to Bend and offered to buy the city's water bonds. Thereupon the council agreed to sell these bonds subject to the approval of the voters and on the bid this was written. "The above bid for bonds bearing interest at 5' j per cent is, by proper resolution of the city council, hereby accepted and the bonds awarded in accordance with the terms hereof, this first day of April, 1025. R. H. FOX, Attest- Mayor." Louis Bennett. Recorder. Have the bond buyers been consulted in respect to this annul ment? If they agree all well and good but if they do not agree 'will the effort at repudiation be continued? The taxpayers would like to see the city gvl the best price possible for its bonds but they would like also, we are sure, to have the credit of the city kept on a high level. You do not do much for your credit when you try to abrogate vour contracts. ' The way to get out of this whole mess is by voting the bond issue down. STAIt'S (iiiwxs HELD ill.
