A higher rate of interest on bonds likely to prevail in view of the proposed increased inedbted- ness would cost the city thousands of dollars over the period of years covered by the maturity period of the bonds and would more than offset any possible gain by the city in a re-sale of the lot, the sinking fund commission stated.

B. Ballard. A total of $12,609.78 in fines was paid to the local police court last year, compared to $14,360.51 in 1953. And this total, in turn, had showed a decrease of more than $1,000 from the 1952 figure.

A to tal of 301 ethers were sentenced to 1,855 days for drunkenness and fined $2,581, while another 20 per sons paid $597 and served 85 days for violating the liquor law. Speeding and reckless driving brought the next largest fine re turn as the court levied penalties of $1,4-56.90 upon 97 violators. Once more in 1964, the most pop ular of all violations was the breaking of city parking laws. A total of 1,960 drivers paid fines amounting to $1,164.90. an aver age of almost 60 cents each. This category accounted for most of the increase in total violations ov er 1963, when 1,253 drivers broke the parking laws. Other arrests for offenses dur ing the year included: Fighting, S3 arrests, 270 days given and $691 in fines; carrying concealed weapons, 1 arrest, $100; disorderly conduct, 75 arrested, 258 days and $926.98 in fines; va grancy, 6 arrests, 108 days, $12; gambling, 32 arrests, $319 in fines; operating without license, 25 ar rests, 60 days, $296.
