Dear Sir:
In resoonse to our conversation of today, this letter is to
confirm that in my opinion an assessment of $53,877.57 for the Debt
Service of the fiscal year 1959 and 1960~will be sufficient to meet
the requiremenvs of the 19&6 and 19~9 Bond Indentures. As you will note
from the Schedule supplied you sometime age, the assessment of this
emoun~ is more than adequate to p~y the interest ~dud principle on these
bends over the ~erm o£ their scheduled maturity.
· Sincerely yours,
BATEM~N AND JEFFRIES
