COUNTY AND TOWN TO SEEK NEW PLAN County Board: Initiates Move ment for Easier Pay ment Plan County commissioners will, in ac cordance with an order passed Wed nesday, seek a joint meeting with the mayor and board of aldermen of Bre vard, and suggest that both govern ing bodies arrange a meeting with note and bond holders, and make ef fort to obtain relief from the present plan of payment of public indebted ness and the interest thereon. It is the intention of the county board, it is said, to suggest to the town board board that an. invitation be extend ed to the bond holders and the note holders to come to Brevard for a meeting. If this cannot be arranged, another announced plan will be to ask the bond holders and note hold ers to suggest a meeting place where a conference may be held. It is understood that the county of ficials will lay the cards upon the table, face up, and ask the bond hold ers and note holders for a plan whereby interest and maturities can be met. Some leaders believe |hat it will be necessary to re-finance prin cipal indebtedness and reduce inter est payments before the county and town can meet their obligations, and it is hoped that some such sugges tion will be forthcoming from the boiul holders and note holders, in eve -t the proposed meeting can be ar ranged.
