Introduced Bill To Lower'
Amount Required Under
Present Law 'n
WOULD CUT BOND COSTS
Senator Jeter M. Blackburn,
of this city, introduced a bill In
the State Senate last week to re
duce the amount of the bonds re
quired of the ‘'Sheriff of Wilkes
county.
Under the provisions of tl»e
■bill, a bond of JSO.OOO' wonld be
required for the collection 'of
State taxes and bond of $15,000
would be required for county
taxes. At the present time the
sheriff must furnish bond of
$60,000 for county' taxes and
SI'S,000 for stale taxes, mak'mg
the total bonds required $75,00®,
besides a $5,000 'bond as an oS-
rioer.
Senator Blackbnrn’s blU em

quire bonds ^ excess |Of these
amounts it they deem it neces

It Is pointed out that the
sheriff seldom has so much (mon

of $45,000 would not cover it.
Since tJie sheriff's bond Js paid
by the county, it has also been
pointed out that ii red'iictlon in
