The Committee appointed to examine the Charter and see and
report whether the Board can use the endowment fund to pay its debts
made the following report
Your Comnittee on issuing bonds and funding our debt beg leave
to report;
That having met and earnestly considered this matter, in our
judgement it will be easier to borrow the money at six per cent, by
mortgaging the estate of Ashland and Woodlands, and pay off the debt
now drawing 8 per cent than to sell the bonds if issued.
V-le therefore recommend that the executive
Committee be directed to give their earliest attention to this business
and reduce the present interest as soon as possible.
