Allen Gives Opinion A letter from Judge Allen was read, gifting that it was his opinion that three $1,000 right-of-way bonds of the cancelled issue might be re-issued temporarily for the purpose of transferring the funds that have been collected from taxes and held intact to pay on the right-of-way indebtedness. The bonds would be issued, and cancelled and redeemed immediately, thus the city will not be any richer* but will use the money being held to cancel indebtedness. This was followed by Aid.
