If the community had tned to sell the bunds by ilaelf. mu h a lump sum might not have been available for some unknown time powdbly delaying the const ruction of the propoiwd futility for many months Now you may aak, ’ What is a municipal bind?"

that the interest earned on mumcipal bunds is exempt from all present Fed<-ral taxes and in many cases from taxes of the issuing state. This is important to you. the taxpayer, fur thia taxexemption feature usually makes it possible fur a community to übtam u lower rate of interest on Its bond; lower than otherwise would be available If it were to seek other types of financing And of course.
