$750,000 in bond anticipation notes while waiting for the bond market to improve '
for the permanent bond sale. Since it will take three to four weeks for the
anticipation notes to be negotiated, an inter -fund loan from the Borough funds
to the School Board funds must be completed to allow the School Board to meet
its immediate commitments. The Borough funds will then be replaced with the
proceeds from the bond anticipation notes. He further explained that a resolution
is necessary in order to complete the application for the hospital loan and grant.

Barr, concerning his contract, and that the Borough will consider the contract
no longer in effect as of June 25.

was an agreement between him and Chuck Powell, former Borough Chairman, that

claimed that additional car allowance was due him. Mr. Cole presented letters
