Receipt of approximately $22,-
000 ;n tax money from the re­
cent O.-A- payment enabled the
county treasurer last week to
buy back and cancel $18,000
worth of bonds of School Dist­
rict 47 due July 1, saving the
district $360.05 in interest for
the remaining 5% months. These
bonds, held by the state treasur­
er, were released by the state
bond commission at a premium
of $109.53, the rate of premium
being determined by the premium
which the state paid for the
last issue of the district’s re­
funding bonds.
The dates for opening of bids
for purchase of the funding
bonds to redeem outstanding
warrants of the district, author­
ized at the recent election, has
been set for February 8.
