Mr. William M. Richards, Chairman

Dear Mr. Richaros:
The following is a report on the bond of indebtedness of the County of Oakland as it pertains to the
constitutional debt limitation:
The Bonds outstanding with County credit are $206,936,364,47.
The Assessed Valuation rounded off is $4,738,990,509.00. Ten per cent of that figure is $400,730,899.00.
Thus, the bonds carrying County credit, rounded off to the nearest per cent equals 5% of the constitu-
tional debt limitation of 107,, leaving 53/4 for County debt purposes.
Very truly yours,
Robert P. Allen
Corporation Counsel
