dinance, and a further investigation the council has caused
to be made for the Purpose of ascertaining the needs of the
city for the next few years, the council has ascertained
and found that the principal amount of bonds and warrants
of the city maturing in the next few years is so great in
the aggregate that in order to pay the future maturities
thereof the city would have to curtail certain functions
and improvements which the council deems necessary for the
proper conduct of the affairs of the city and for the
rendition of the essential public services in the city.
In order for the city to continue to provide easential
public services of the city, it is necessary, therefore,
that the city undertake a comprehensive refunding program
at this time; and with that end in view, the council has
determined that it is necessary, desirable and in the pub-
lic interest that the principal of the Series 1961 bonds,
the Series 1962 bonds, and those of the Series 1960 bonds
numbered 1,002 to 1,430, inclusive, be refunded by the re-
funding bonds hereinafter authorized, and that the prin-
cipal of the outstanding warrants and $26,000 of the
next maturing installment of interest on those of the out-
standing warrants referred to in subsections (a) to (f),
inclusive, of Section 3 hereof should be refunded by the
refunding warrants hereinafter authorized, ‘

ments are true: (a) The redemption premium that will be

fund, simultaneously with the issuance of any
of the parity securities and out of the pro-
ceeds derived from the sale thereof, that por-
tion of said proceeds which may be referable
to the accrued interest and any premium received
by the city on any such sale;
(>) Prior to the last secular day of
May, 1965, and prior to the last secular day
of each successive month thereafter until the
principal of and interest on the parity securi-
ties shall have been paid in full, the city
will pay into the special fund, out of the pro-
ceeds from the gross receipts tax, an amount
equal to 1/6th of the semiannual installment of

the city will pay into the special fund such
additional sum as, when added to (1) the sum
that will be on deposit in the special fund
immediately following such issuance, and (2)
the subsequent payments that are herein re-
quired to be made into the special fund be-
tween the date of such issuance and the then
next succeeding May 1, will make available on

The city will not in any event permit a default to occur
in the payments herein provided to be made into the spe-
cial fund, and if the proceeds from the gross receipts
tax should at any time be insufficient to make the pay-
ments provided herein to be made into the special fund,
the city will use moneys from its general funds for that
Purpose to such extent as may be necessary to prevent a
default in the payments into the special fund. All mon-
€ys paid into the special fund shall be used only for pay-
ment of the principal of and interest on the parity securi-
ties, upon or after the respective maturities of such prin-
cipal and interest; provided, that if at the final maturity
of the parity securities, howsoever the same may mature,
there shall be in the special fund moneys in excess of the
amount required to retire the parity securities, then any
Such excess shall thereupon be returned to the city. When
the amount of money on deposit in the special fund equals
or exceeds the aggregate of the principal and interest to
their respective maturities on the parity securities at
the time outstanding, no further payments need be made
into the special fund except to make good the moneys paid
therein which may become lost or which may not be immedi-
ately available for withdrawal under the provisions of
