IMMEDIATE PAYMENT OF TAXES ONLY Ut OUT FOR THE TOWN ( Continued from page one) ately place this plant on a strictly self-sustaining basis by raising1 the water rates to a sufficient level to produce an amount necessary to pay the operation and maintenance charg es, together with the interest and sinking fund requirements. An indi rect tax is a ways easier to collect than an ad valorem tax, and we be lieve these water rates should be in creased at once to place your plant on a strictly self-sustaining basis. Will you kindly send us a schedule of your water rates, showing the number of gallons allowed for the minimum rate and how this schedule increases for the consumption of amounts over the minimum? Needless for us to state, the first thing that should be done is have your operating expenses reduced to the very minimum. All extra and unneeded employees should be dis pensed with, and all operation charg es should be reduced to the very min imum, consistent with the proper ad ministration of the town. There are many other suggestions that we might make, but with which no doubt you are as familiar as we are. The two main points are: to reduce the expenses as much as possible and to provide from all means available the largest amount of revenue. No doubt you have some sizeable amount of past-due and uncollected general and assessment taxes. We suggest that you find some aggressive worker and turn over to him these >>ast-due taxes, with an arrangement that he is to have a certain percent age of all taxes that he collects. This no doubt will bring in a considerable amount, as taxes can and will be paid if you follow the matter sufficiently aggressively. W e are writing these suggestions to you for the reason that either the town officials of Brevard will have to follow them out and work out this unfortunate situation or someone else will. We are in touch with a large number of owners of Brevard bonds and many of them, not understanding the situation in North Carolina as we do. are desirous of filing suit in the I' ederal court and securing a writ of mandamus for the levy of the proper amount ef tax, etc. This we desire to avoid, as we know from our many dealings with you officials, that you ate cawibie of judiciously handling \our town afiairs; and we recom mend to these owners not to take any hasty action. Insofar as we are con cerned, we do not have a dollar in vested in bonds of the town of Bre vard or any other North Carolina community, and all that we can do .s to recopimend to the owners what we believe to be the best policv for them to pursue. They will listen to us so Ion? and no longer, and we feel sure that unless we could give them some information on the Brevard <?>1 1 pons, we will be unable to hold them in line lonjrer. We certainly wish to avoid, if it is at all possible, a suit, as the courts would impose a tax that will be much larger than would be necessary for you to work out the atfairs of the town your selves. As stated to you over the telephone, you cannot rely at all on securing funds from the sale of refunding bonds. Such a loan would be approved by the Local Government Commission but we are equally sure, and they also will advise, you, that there would be 110 purchasers for such bonds, unless you know of some North Carolinians that would purchase the same. In other words, a community such as Brevard, that has not paid its cou pons. cannot hope to secure further credit from the investing public un less and until all of their past-due coupons are paid. Possibly it would be well for you to use all of your available funds to nay coupons, and to exchange matur ing principal with a refunding bond. We will recommend to the owners of Brevard bonds that we have distrib uted to, to accept, at maturity, a re funding bond in exchange for the ma tured bond over a period of the next few years, and we believe they will be governed by our recommendation. However, it is onlv natural that they would not consider accepting a re funding bond in payment of the ma tured bond, unless all of their inter est had been paid up in full. You will therefore appreciate the neces sity for keeping your interest pay ments up, as otherwise you will be forced, in addition, through action on the part of the bond holders, to pay not onlv the coupons but the matur ing princinal as well. Under the last act of the legisla ture. your budget for the fiscal year starting July 1st will shortly have to be prepared. We would like to have you send us figures covering the lat est assessed value which will be op erative during your next fiscal year, and also would like to have you send ,us a copy of your budget showing the total tax rate and how allocated ? that is. how much for operation, how much for debt service, etc. This will have to be approved by the Local Government Commission and will not be approved by them unless the prop er amount is allocated for debt ser vice and other expenditures reduced to the minimum. In preparing this budget, you should of course take in to consideration the fact that your taxes will not be paid 100 per "cent and should allow for the proper amount of delinquencies and the tax fixed accordingly. We believe you will know from our previous dealings with you, which has been very pleasant and satisfactory, that we are willing to do what we ' can to assist you and, if we can be \ of anv service to you, you have only : to call upon us. ? Awaiting your response to this, let- ' ter, we remain. Yours very truly, 1 MAGNUS & COMPANY. Cincinnati, Ohio, J June 11, 1931 c HARTSELL'S AT SEASHORE FOR SHORT VACATION Rev.
