Barclay properties. <br /> Cranbury officials say they’re trying to find other ways to limit increases in debt. <br /> <br /> ”We are going to be refinancing bonds,” Ms. Marabello said. “We’ll be refinancing to lower the interest rates.” <br /> <br /> These bonds were sold in 1998 and 2002 for various projects and have an average interest rate of 4.5 percent, she said. <br /> <br /> As for the compensation portion of the budget meeting, Ms. Marabello said it is typical for municipal salaries to see an annual increase but that she wasn’t sure by how much at this stage of the process. <br />... <br /><a href="http://www.packetonline.com/articles/2008/02/08/cranbury_press/news/doc47ac6ebfea022703211919.prt" target="_blank">http://www.packetonline.com/articles/2008/02/08/cranbury_press/news/doc47ac6ebfea022703211919.prt</a></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
