Richard V. Guardino Jr., the town supervisor, said that last summer, the town passed a $40 million bond authorization for park improvements, including money for the project.

The bond authorization came in an almost anticlimactic process lasting barely a minute or two in a narrow conference room in the Capitol building in Albany.

They passed "non-controversial" bills, including a motel tax, 911 service fees, and a bond authorization for Nassau.

The original bond authorization was for $150,000.

Thus the resulting US$25,000 bond authorization resulted in the territorial prison being built in Yuma.

The permission included a US$100,000 bond authorization.

The Assembly reduced the theater's bond authorization from the $5 million that it had approved in 1987 to $855,000, against the backdrop of this summer's budget-cutting process.

But voters rejected a $1 billion bond authorization, the second-largest issue on the ballots around the country, for California railroads.

This program will cost $900 million and will leave $400 million from the bond authorization that can not be spent in that time, he said.

His proposal, however, is expected to include $100 million in bond authorizations for housing rehabilitation, rental housing for the elderly, shelters for the homeless and other programs.
