Bniijaa;jttv,pay their., street pav ing assessments* vHth' Towr.' of Bre vard bends. This opinion is given to Mayor Ramsey in a letter from the attorney general in answer to the mayor's request for a ruling on the question. While the ruling is not direct, the attorney general sent a copy of a recent ruling he had made hi a cute similar to the one cofronting Brevard, which it is believed, covers the local situation : The letter is carried below. Mayor1 Ralph H. Ramsey, Brevard, N. C? "....I send you copy of letter re cently written Dr. Morrison with respect to attempted payment with bonds of a municipality or other sub division of government. Of course the same rule as therein Btated would apply with respect to use of such securities in paying street paving assessments.'' Dr. Fred W. Morrison, State Tax Commission, Raleigh, N. C., Dear sir: You submit to this office inquiry received by yours, asking whether a county or municipality may accept, or be forced to accept, the bonds and ? or interest coupons of such bonds in payment of taxes. Answer: No, unless the bonds ? or interest coupons upon their face and the statute authorizing their issuance require or permit this to be done. Parentheticially, I may say that I know of no bonds issued by any county or municipality in the State upon authority requiring or permit ting acceptance of such bonds and ? or interest coupons in payment of taxes to the issuing political sub* division. If any should be found upon which the claim is made that they contain such authority, I would, of course, want to examine the bonds and ? or interest coupons, and the statutes authorising them, before passing upon the particular case. There are many reasons why such bonds and ? or interest coupons may not be used in payment of taxes to a county or municipality. If this could be done, it would be a method where by the holder could secure a prefer ence in its claim against such town or municipality. Taxes are raised for various pur poses ? support of schools, construc- j tion and maintenance of highways and streets, debt service, conduct of courts, and all the other purely gov- ; ernmenial functions to be performed : by and within a tax levying jurisdic- 1 tion. These are vital purposes of j government itself. There arc different rates for the different objects. Each taxpayer pays for the support of the different objects in the proportions a3 set out in the different tax rates. To permit the acceptance of the bonds tfnd? or interest coupons of the county or municipality in payment of these taxes might paralyse the whole operations of the governments! ser vice. Certainly, in the absence of direct and positive authorization, the use of such bonds and? or interest coupons for such purposes would be contrary to public policy. Other questions might arise should there be assumed legislative authority for such action. It will be remembered that an order was passed by the board of aldermen at their regular meeting on the first Monday in February, in which it was stated that property owners could pay thftir street paving assessments with Town of Brevard bonds already matured and maturing prior to July first, 1932. It is known that there are some Town of Brevard bonds being placed on the market at 60 cents on the dollar and less, and it was with the view to assisting property owners to take advantage of this saving that the order was passed by the board. How ever, a letter was received a few days later from Director Johnson of the Local Government Commission Raleigh, advising that this method of procedure could not be pursued. Mayor Ramsey went to Raleigh last week in an effort to present the case of the local government unit more clearly to Director Johnson, and while there presented the question to Attorney General Brummitt for his ruling. The above opinion was re ceived here the first of this week. Director Johnson in refusing to sanction the acceptance of bonds due and coming due during the present fiscal year, said that such action would constitute a preference to a certain class of bondholders, which preference he would not permit. Mr. Johnson said in effect that it was his duty to look after both the interest of the bondholder and the tax payers of municipalities. Apparently there is no other road open for the board of aldermen but to refuse acceptance of the bdnds in payment of the assessments.
