jBoifcd Men Ask County
! To Re-Issue Big Note
R. S, Dickson, ®f Charlotte, ap
,iM«red before the county board Mop
d$y and asked that tha commission'
ers re-issue or split up a one hundred
thousand dollar past due note into
denominations of one thousand dol
lars.
The bond man stated that his
house had secured the large note at
& comparatively low figure and that
if the commissioners would split the
note up he would be in position to
either “break the bond market on
Transylvania securities or give the
taxpayers a very substantial sav
ing." Dickson pointed out that peo
ple paying past due taxes and debt
service portion of current taxes with
county securities were victims of a
high market which has become ef
i fective since passage <Sf the bill for
delinquent taxes in the present legis
lature. If. the Charlotte bond house
representative said, his house were
able to place the bonds on sale in the
smaller denominations, the market
, nrice would immediately fall on
i Ti ansylvama paper.
! The commissioners deferred action
on the matter until they could have
more time to investigate it. County
1 Attorney Breese was present at the
meeting and asked the bond mOT
what concessions they would be wil
I ling to give the county in the matter
l provided the bond was split up. it
j was opinion of the county attorney
' that inasmuch as the bond holder was
asking for aid in making the bond
imore saleable that the county should
also benefit from the transaction by
I a write-off of part of the face value
, of the larger note.
Mr. Dickson stated that the tax
inayers would get the saving when
I ‘he smaller denominations were
' placed on the market, by reason of
the fact that whe-eas past due bonds
had been selling at from 60 to 70
cents on the dollar to taxpayers,
thev would be sieved a considerable
amount in paying their taxes under
the lower cost at which his house
proposed to make the paper avail
able for paying debt service portion
cf •urrent, taxes or past due.
County Attorney Breese said tn«r
i" the write-off were made to the
(ount.v that the entire county would
benefit from a rednction of the debt,
whereat" it. is possible that only a
few would benefit under the plan as
submitted by the bond house, and
thot sneculators in county paper
would he the larger beneficiary.

of the board will be held within a
few days at which time the matter
will again be taken up. -
