Harnett Maintains A-l Credit Rating Despite Low Finances Faced with the problem of hoiy to meet the ' county’s steadily mouiiiting expense account with an income that so far this year has been under expec.bations, those who hold t'he striugs' to Harnett’s purse have been in an extremely 'tough spot for several .moniths. Realizing that taxpayers now are burdened almost -to'jthe limit, Harnett’s Commlslsouers'fast sum mer kept tlie tax rate at the $1.25- level and,^ assisted by Auditor Sted- man McLean, managed to crowd into the budget those items that •were absolutely necessary for effi- clen’t governmemt. When the task ot budget-making was started^ there were many, who could see nothing, else for the- executives to dp except raise the rate. The budget was so completely packed that prompt .payment of bills -diepended -upon tax collections and there was no room for addi tional expenses. ‘ Although current bills can be carried over from month 'to month —and sometimes longer tnan that, bond payments apd interest must be paid on maturity date or default win send the orbdit ra-llng tunib-' ling’ and -make it all the more ex- . pensive should the county find it necessary to issue bonds. Many of the county’s four per ceiu refunding bonds, issued in exchange for six per cent township bonds, fall due on Dec ember 1st. Late In November a t nIce-sized cquiiny voucher was on Its way to bond-holders and Har- , nett, was able to promptly meet . its obllgatiom Further evidence that this coun ty’s credit rating has been main tained through the struggle is shown by a stock broker’s offer to sell' $.2,000 of this county’s bonds at $100 and accrued interest.
