ries, as a part of its regular service, notices of the sale of munici-
pal bonds: Provided, that where any bond shall be registered, then

said Act No 51, and there are hereby irrevocably appropriated and pledged
from the moneys received and to be received from said Fund by said Board,

heretofore made for payment of the County's contractual obligations to
the State, as hereinbefore set forth, pursuant to Act No. 205, Michigan

outstanding and unpaid, to direct the County Treasurer to set aside

pal and interest next maturing on said bonds, and the County Treasurer

local road purposes, respectively, in the same proportions as the bond

herein authorized to be issued, and as permitted by Section 18c of said
Act No. 51, this Board of Supervisors hereby covenants and agrees on be-
half of said County of Oakland that, in the event that the funds herein-
before pledged for the payment of said bonds are insufficient to pay the
principal and interest thereon as the same become due, the County
Treasurer of said county shall advance sufficient moneys from the general
funds of the county to make up the deficiency, and reimbursement shall
be made from the first subsequent revenues received by the Board of
County Road Commissioners from the Motor Vehicle Highway Fund not pledged
or required to be set aside and used for the payment of the principal
and interest on bonds, notes or other evidences of indebtedness.
9. That any accrued interest and/or premium received on the
sale and delivery of said bonds shall be deposited in the "1968 Motor
Vehicle Highway Bond Redemption Fund" and the proceeds of the sale of
said bonds shall be set aside and deposited by the County Treasurer into
a special fund for the construction of the above-specified primary and
local road improvements, which fund shall be maintained as a separate
deposit in a designated county depository, and the moneys so set aside
and deposited shall be paid out only on order of the Board of County Road
Commissioners. The accounts of said Board shall be kept so as to show
separately that part of the bond proceeds which is allocated for primary
road improvements and that part which is allocated for local road im-
provements and so as to show that such proceeds are expended only for the
purposes for which so allocated.
10. That the said bonds and attached coupons shall be in sub-
stantially the following form:

Both principal and interest will be payable at such bank or

Federal Government or the State of Michigan, as shall be designated by
the original purchaser of the bonds. A co-paying agent or agents so
qualified may also be so designated. The paying agent or agents shall
be subject to county approval.
The bonds are to be issued under Act No. 51, Michigan Public
Acts of 1951, as amended (especially Section 18c thereof), for the pur-
pose of defraying a part of the cost of constructing and reconstructing
highways in the primary and local road systems of the county. The
principal and interest on said bonds are payable primarily from Motor
Vehicle Highway Funds derived from state-collected taxes to be returned
to the Board of County P.,77,ad Commissioners of said county pursuant to
said Act and an irrevocable appropriation and pledge of an amount
thereof sufficient to pay such principal and interest has been made by
the County Board of Supervisors. Such appropriation and pledge is sub-
ject, however, to the priority of pledges heretofore made by contract
with the State Highway Commissioner for payment of aggregate amounts
not exceeding $105,000 per year to finance construction of the Farmington-
Brighton Expressway and the Northwestern Expressway. Pledges of equal
priority with the pledge for the bonds herein offered for sale have been
made for payment of principal and interest on outstanding bonds and notes
heretofore issued by the county, and such pledges of equal priority may
be made for payment of future County bonds, notes or contractual obli-
gations, within limitations prescribed by said Act No. 51. In the event
that moneys pledged are not sufficient to pay principal and interest on
the bonds herein offered for sale, the County Treasurer is obligated,
under resolution of the Board of Supervisors, to advance the amount of
the deficiency from general funds of the county.
• For the purpose of awarding the bonds, the interest cost of
each bid will be computed by determining, at the rate or rates speci-
fied therein, the total dollar value of all interest on the bonds from
(here insert the first day of the month next
following the date of receiving bids or the date of the bonds, which-
ever is later) to their respective maturities and deducting therefrom
- any premium- The bonds will be awarded to the bidder whose bid on the
above computation produces the lowest interest cost to the county. No
proposal for the iverchase of less than all of the bonds or at a price
less than their par ,/alue will be considered.
-19-
A certified or cashier's check in the amount of $80,000,
drawn upon an incorporated bank or trust company and payable to
the order of the County Treasurer, must accompany each bid as a
guarantee of good faith on the part of the bidder, to be forfeited
as liquidated damages if such bid be accepted and the bidder fails
to take up and pay for the bonds. No interest shall be allowed on
the good faith checks and checks of the unsuccessful bidders will
be promptly returned to each bidder's representative or by regis-
tered mail.
Bids shall be conditioned upon the unqualified opinion
of Dickinson, Wright, McKean & Cudlip, attorneys, Detroit, Michigan,
approving the legality of the bonds. The cost of said legal opinion
and of the printing of the bonds (with the legal opinion printed on
the back thereof) will be paid by the county. There will also be
furnished the usual closing documents, including a non-litigation
certificate, dated as of the date of delivery of the bonds. Bonds
will be delivered at Detroit, Michigan, New York, N.Y., or Chicago,
Illinois, at county expense. Payment shall be made in Federal Re-
serve funds if so requested by the county.
The right is reserved to reject any or all bids.
Envelopes containing the bids should be plainly marked
"Proposal for Bonds".
