“In a normal year,” Bagley said, “the complex would
run an estimated $76,000 deficit per year which would be
paid out of countv funds — an insignificant figure when
compared to the $600,000 in new revenue the project would
rfenerato. Even with the worst possible estimates, the two
Bounties will still realize over .$200,000 per year in added

At the maturity of the bonds, the project would bo
