assumption that the number of years indicated will represent
the extremes. In compiling these tables, no account has
been taken of normal growth in the ability of the state to
meet the expenditures required for debt service. A 44%
interest rate has been assumed, although on the basis of
recent experience the average rate at which such bonds can
be sold would probably be nearer 434%. To the extent that
the average rate would be less than 4149, the annual
amounts required for interest would be reduced to some
extent. On the other hand, if they are issued so that on the
average they bear a coupon rate of 415%, the bonds would
doubtless sell at a premium, thus making a larger amount
available at the outset. Refinements of this sort need not be
considered in detail, but it should also be noted that Tables
84 and 85 are based on the assumption that the entire amount
