JULY 7. 194 PAGE 3 Interest Payment Made On City's Water Bond Issue The second semi-annual interest inter-est payment of $11,250 bas been made on Provo's million dollar bond issue .floated last year for waterworks improvements. The first Interest payment of an equal amount was made January 1, 1946. Provo is actually making money on the unspent funds of the . issue, however, city officials pointed out. Interest on the bond issue is two and one fourth per cent for two years, when it be comes one and a half per cent I until the bonds are fully retired in 1970. Soon after the issue was floated, city officials sank the entire million mil-lion dollars into government bonds, on which the city draws two and one half per cent. The city is therefore actually making money on the interest, and will make more on the unspent portions por-tions 'after the bond interest rate drops in the third year. While the object is to get the money spent wisely in improvement improve-ment of the system as fast as possible, pos-sible, officials point out that current cur-rent delays caused chiefly by lack of materials and other factors fac-tors need be no concern for citizens citi-zens who are afraid an interest debt might be piling up. Payment on the principal of the bond issue begins July 1, 1948 and continues in annual pay ments until 1970. The principal payments start at 537.000 per year and work up on a graduated gradu-ated scale to $50,000 annually. Under terms of the bond issue, repayment is to be made from revenues of the waterworks system, sys-tem, and not from taxes. At present. $950,000 of the million mil-lion dollar issue remain untouched untouch-ed in the government bond fund. The city commission recently authorized au-thorized the withdrawal of $50,000 from the unspent million to meet payments on the west side water extension program and provide a carrying fund for a period into the future. The first large expenditure of the fund, under present plans. is the installation of a second aqueduct from near the mouth of Provo canyon to the city reservoir The overworked single line now in use is the present bottleneck in the city's water system, and the cause of present water shortages. The break in the aqueduct which occurred early Thursday morning was the result of trying to crowd too much water through the line in an attempt to avoid shortages of the pasfweek or so. Waterworks Commissioner J. Earl Lewis said the break has been repaired, re-paired, but the flow must be slacked up some and it will mean a little less water for the city during dur-ing the remainder of the summer. sum-mer. If citizens will adhere to present lawn sprinkling schedules, sched-ules, he expressed the belief it will be unnecessary to place an hourly time limit on sprinkling. If, however, they refuse to do so, this may become necessary. : The contemplated new aqueduct aque-duct has been estimated in the neighborhood of $300,000. Delay has been encountered in getting poles of the Utah Power and Light company moved from the selected se-lected route down the canyon road, but city offiicals hope to get the project underway at least by fall. If such is possible they believe it could be completed in time to bring additional water to Provo next summer. City Briefs Mr. and Mrs. II. S.
