The Applicant hereby withdraws its Application-Declaration
on Form U-1 ("U-1") relating to the proposed issuance and sale of
up to $326 million in secured lease obligation bonds ("Refunding
Bonds") to be used to refund previously issued and sold secured
lease obligation bonds (the "Original Bonds"). The Applicant
seeks to withdraw the U-1 due to the rise in interest rate
levels. Assuming the Refunding Bonds would bear interest at a
rate which is equivalent to current rates on comparable
securities, the Applicant believes that the refunding of the
Original Bonds under such financial conditions would be
economically undesirable. In the event financial conditions
become desirable to issue the Refunding Bonds, the Applicant will
seek authorization through the filing of a subsequent Application-
Declaration on Form U-1.
