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.
