Johnson Al Finish Tran Raleigh Several ComPttes Bid County’s Credit Fully Appreciat ed By Many Who Follow Trend Of Business A saving of $40,000 was effected for the tax payers of Randolph county when $82,000 Randolph county bonds were refunded in Raleigh on Tuesday, April 28th. M. E. Johnson, chairman of the board of commissioners and I. C. Moser, county attorney’ made the trip to Raleigh and transacted the business with the local government commission. The average rate of interest—un usually low-r-was set at 3.86 per cent. $49,000 worth sold for 4% per cent against the former five and six per cent interest. This unusually low rate of interest was made possible by the improved credit of the county over a few years ago. Of this $82,000 bond refunding, $15,000 is for schools and $67,000 for general county expenses. This is the last batch of bonds that can be re funded by the county, the other bonds having been sold, not subject to call. If it were possible to recall the out standing bonds and refund them, the interest rate under the present stand ing, the saving to Randolph would run into many thousands. A number of bonding and invest ment companies submitted bids for the issue, proving that Randolph’s bonds are in demand. It further proves, what the thinking people of Randolph know, that the county’s business has been handled in a capable fashion by the commissioners. The bonds were sold to R. S. Dickson and Co. of Charlotte with McAlister, Smith and Pate of Greenville, S. C., second low bidders and Lewis and Hall of GAensboro running a close third.
