Thus, promptness had alreadv paid off to the tune of some $6,000.00, but this saving, although certainly not inconsiderable, is relatively small in view of the savings which result from the city‘s being able to take advantage of the 1.39 per cent interest rate. w At the 2 per cent rate, the interest cost to the city would be $101,040.83. The difference between that figâ€" ure and the $70,223.38 the city has actually paid, is $30,817.45. If, as is entirely possible, the city had been forced to pay the 214 per cent rate, the cost of interest would have been $113,670.94, or $43,477.56 more.
