The following copy of a resolution adopted by the Commissioners of the
i
'Sinking Fund of the City of Rochester was read and upon motion by Fryer, second byl
Akenhead, the said resolution was approved:
"WHEREAS, the Public Utility Board of the City of Rochester, through
its secretary, A. J. Lentfer, have asked that certain bonds be sold in
order to have available sufficient funds to meet the obligations arising
from the Silver Lake Pland Improvement, project in accordance with the
following quoted communication: 'December 18, 1947
The Sinking Fund Commission
and
The Public Utility Board
City of Rochester, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
It is obvious that additional funds will have to be provided for the
payments required on certain materials for the Silver Lake Plant according
to terms of existing contracts.
It is further obvious that available funds in the Water Department will
not be sufficient to meet our obligations which will become due soon on
the completion of the well on Fourteenth Street and Eleventh Avenue
Northwest and the eventual payments due on the Soldier's Field well.
Although the bond market is, at the present time, not as strong as
it has been we have no choice except to sell some securities. We do have
many U.S. Government securities but have not held them long enough to
realize the maximum earnings therefrom and I therefore recommend that the
following State of Minnesota securities be sold by the Sinking Fund
Commission.and including also School District #8 and Township of Feather-
