Burrows May 3, 1956. i Mr. Jason Smith - Mayor Jason Smith Motors, Inc 715 Albany Street Caldwell, Idaho y Dear Mr. Smith: I have repeatedly pointed out that it will take appro 75 days from the time the Council decides when to sell its bonds before you could get any money. That is the reason we have been urging you to arrive at some conclusion and to obtain the data on the rate ordinancem etc., which I take from your letter of May 2 will be forthcoming fron - Mr: Cfigray. If we should sell part of the bonds ROlP, it loots as if you would use up all the money /. from the first, block of bonds, assuming that we split them, almost before we deliver them. Ordinarily, a buyer of the initial block of bonds wants assurance that the second block of bonds will not be placed on the market for a reasonable length of time so that if he ' gets caught in a bad market he has a few months to work his bonds off before the same issue 1 might be offered for sale. In view of the fact that you will need all the money by October, perhaps we might just as well sell all the bonds. How much improvement there will be in the market by that time, I do not know. My impression is that we will get a little im- i provement even before the time we offer the bonds for sale - say, 50 days from now. It was my thinking when I suggested that you sell the bonds in two blocks that part of the money.would not be needed-until probably next year, in which event I was hopeful that the market might make some definite improvement. In the last analysis, I don't think anyone can tell you what the trend of the market will be in ninety days or six months If one could, all he would have to do is speculate on the market. Inasmuch as it is the Council's feeling that the bonds should be sold in one block and due to the fact that you are going to need all the money before the and of October, we would like for you to authorize us to have bond attorneys prepare a notice of sale and bond,ordinanew for issuance of all the bonds at this time. I assume from your letter that the terms of the proposed bonds as contained in the prospectus were agreeable to you and that we can incorporate them in the bond ordinance. I suppose Mr. Cigray will confirm this, but we should have it confiremd before we ask Chapman and Cutler to draft the bond ordinance. We would like to receive a copy of the rate ordinance as soon as possbile so that we can quote from it in the prospectus. _ -I Very truly yours N J. A. Burrows _- President.
