State laws, governlnihf. relation of town and- county ' were made - when North Carolina. .''had ''Ho. large towns and; that these' : laws j are , now- in a large measure obsolete.'. and should be altered at once to xAee the , newly-arisen demand '. and conditions, is the direct declaration of a- f ornier Charlotte - city' official who' '- ig. much interested ; ih; the flnancinsr : of . the ; city at. the present time. .'- "Liaws,"' said he; "which were -made primarily for ' the -county, 5""eIi thre were "no towns, of "importance "in the State, w'ill- not hbM -good now. At -least ' they do not give that .measure, of free dom and autonomy which, the larger city, is entitled" 'to ,and therefore 4 tbeer should be madea change and,' altera tion as quickly as possible. "There are examples a plenty ' of what ; some States , have 'already 4one to t meet this; situation," said the . ex official. "Atlanta, for instance, nan De come a unit' in that, there is but . one tax assessed and the -city r and county, or, a large part of It, are in this way, gpverned as a.unit. There is also. the. Virginia ; plan V- of 5 incorporating ,. the larger - cities as - separate " tax districts, so' that the proper, adjustment can be . made between city proper and county,; whereby the , burden of the city dwell er is made - easier to " bear, " and ; the county likewise suffers no inconven ience, .- but the. result is a harmonious working scheme thatbrings satisfac tion 'to all interested." 4 ;':- VV -h " - The County Bonded Bebt. '. ' "While the. city of. Charlotte) is 1 now' carrying a bonded debt of $2,100,000, Mecklenburg County has-a total debt of only . $300 - old railroad bonds, first issued at : 8 . per cent and later refunded, at 6 per cent. These are due in 1919. The county has a floating debt of about $160,000, the money '. being-borrow at 6 per cent. This is the sum total of the county's financial ob ligations outside'the fixed running and operating expenses. . ,Many -of-:the- 'most 'rfar-sighted ;bus-' iness men and political leaders are de claring that a day of reckoning is coming tsoon unless remedies! are ap plied to the situation to the next . year or. two. This declaration, is based on the existing , .relationship between available finances for- expenses, . and the known expenditures that will be up to - the city very soon.
