Therefore, we have revised the Resolution to provide approval of the actual Note in the form attached to the Resolution. It is our opinion that the form of the Note attached to the Resolution complies with the requirements of State law relating to the borrowing of money by a city. A new paragraph 3 was added to the Resolution in order to allow the bank a greater interest expense deduction for carrying the loan than would otherwise be allowed under the Internal Revenue Code had the loan not be designated a qualified tax exempt obligation." If you should have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call me. Sincerely, HUTCHISON BOYLE BR00_ & DRANSFIELD n F.
