The district tins been in default since January 1, lies, but will bo able to resume interest payments as soon as the reorganization phiu has been accepted by a sufficient number of bondholders. No reduc tion in 1 he bonded indebtedness is contemplated, but a reduction to two per cent in the interest rate for the first five years and four tier cent after five years are con templated.
