' from'the Intersection Fund of the City of Eugene to the Improvement Bond Sinking Fun the sum of $8500.00 which is not needed for the Intersection Fund. Upon motion made 21 seconded, and duly carried, this request was approved. I The Recorder stated that.there was a deficit of $17'(, 574.15 in the Improve- ment Bond Sinking Fund and that due to the fact that these bonds are not refunding I bonds. and where there are no assets in the form of liens they automatically becom~ Genersl Bond obligations.

The Recorder pointed out that this did not in any way interefere with the General Bond Sinking Fund set-up; that due to an excellent tax collection the General Bond Sinking Fund was in exceptionally good condition. It was further pointed out that,in addition to this proposed transfer the budget committee meeting of 1939 would be required to adopt a policy of levy, principal I and interest, .in excess of $28,000 a year in order to complete the deficit in the Improvement Bonds and therefore if this transfer were not approved that instead of levying $28,000 they would be levying better than $50,000. Mayor-Large stated that as far as taxation is conc;.erned there would be no difrerence in amount being levied if a program were adopted as follows: that rather than transfer f~om General Bond Sinking to the Improvement Bond Sinking that if the levy for the ~eneral Bond Sinking Fund were decreased and a special levy set up for Improvement Bonds that the result would be exactly the same. Mayor Large wanted the picture to be thoroughly clear as to the purpose of the levy; in other words, he wanted the general public to understand that the reason that this levy was having to be made was because of the , ': ~ ~ 1:51 - ~~ 0.. -- -,- ~'~'---~'--~~---~----------'----"'- --- --'-'''--- -~-- -'~--._',.. -.,.-.--------- --------------------- ---~-~'----~~-........-.-.._--_._-----~-._"-- _._--~-._-_.------._. ----- -_._~_.~-~- -_._.~- ~.- ----- ------_.- -- --.--.------ - ------ --------------------- ---..._-------~.--. city's losses in the Improvement Bond Sinking Fund and that it was not because of our ~eneral Bond situation.
