Hop® For Better Money
Market A t Time Middle
School Bonds Are Sold
A representative of Kidder
Peabody, Philadelphia bond
brokers, told the Record yester­day
that he “hopes, trusts and
reasonably expects that the
money market will be favorable
when the middle school bonds
are to be sold.”
However, the representative,
Mr. Jack Dempsey, emphasized
no one can be absolutely certain
of market conditions at a time in
the future.
The Record contacted Kidder
Peabody concerning the finan­cing
of the new middle school.
The Warwick school board is
scheduled to meet Tuesday,
June 17, to adopt a final budget
for the 1969-70 school year. In­cluded
in the budget is a rental
of $376,000 annually for the
school.
Final approval for the school
has not been received from the
Department of Public Instruc­tion,
Harrisburg . School offi­cials
are hopeful this will be
forth coming in the near future
so construction bids can be ask­ed
for around the end of July.
This would mean the bonding
probably could be done in late
August or early September.
Mr. Dempsey of Kidder Pea­body
was referring to the fact
that he hoped the bond market
of today and that of early Sep­tember
would be different. Part
of the problem is a state law
which decrees that all munici­pal
bond issue must have an
interest rate of less than six
percent. Just this week a Phila­delphia
school bond issue went
for naught when no bids were
submitted because of the 6 per­cent
legal limit. Also, this week
the Lancaster Area Sewer
Authority’s $34.7 million subur­ban
sewer system was postpon­ed
for at least one year “be­cause
of the current high inter­est
rates throughout the nation
on municipal authority bond is­sues.
However, Dempsey said these
instances are not exactly com­parable
to Warwick’s Middle
School financing. In the case of
Philadelphia, he said the bonds
were for 30 years and in the
sewer situation they were for
40 years and sewer bonds aren’t
as favorable as school bonds.
Warwick’s bonds are to be for a
shorter period of 20 to 25 years.
Dempsey repeated that al­though
the market Is now “pret­ty
gloomy,” he hoped and ex­pected
the atmosphere would be
different by the time Warwick
is ready to finance the new mid­dle
school.
