6.    A preliminary opinion of a qualified bond counsel which states that the proposed bond issue qualifies as a private activity bond under applicable federal law and, if the private activity bonds are issued, that the bonds must be within the ceiling for the interest on the bonds to be exempt from federal income taxation under the Tax Reform Act.
