"Always Parking Space on the Square" Phones: 117, Store 187-R, Lumber Yard Vote for Charles M. Johnson for Governor Johnson Saves Macon County $154,000 In 1937 Macon County was in default in its bonded indebtedness. It then had outstanding $606,000.00 at a $l/2% interest rate, $175, ?00.00 at a rate of 6% and $34,000.00 at a rate of 5%. The annual interest charge on the 5^4% is sue was $33,330.00. The annual charge on the 6% issue was $10,500.00, the annual charge 5% issue was $1,700.00, making a total inter est charge of $43,847.00 per year. At that time the total tax valuation of Macon County was $5,526,209.00. In order to raise the annual interest on its indebtedness it would have required a tax rate of approxi mately 80c on the $100.00 valuation, which was beyond the ability of the taxpayers of Macon County. In the long negotiations for refunding with the, bondholders, conducted through the Local Government Commission, of which Charles M. Johnson was Chairman, the bondholders representatives insisted that no change in in terest rate should be made in the new refund' ing bonds to be issued in place of the default ed bonds. The County Commissioners and County Attorney of Macon County insisted vigorously that this County could not carry this rate and if forced to do so would again find itself in default. The matter reached a deadlock and it appeared that no agreement could lie reached. At this point Charles M. Johnson, as State Treasurer and. Chairman of the L'ocal Government Commission, stepped into the negotiations and hv his counsel and insistence the bondholders agreed to accept a uniform interest rate of 4 yc/r% requiring a total of $38,712.50 per year to meet the an nual interest charge. This meant an annual saving of $5,135.00 per year to the taxpayers of Macon County. These refunding bonds had a uniform term of thirty years. Thus, an annual saving of $5, 135.00 over a period of thirty years saved the taxpayer^ of Macon County a total of $154, 050.00. This saving was made by the effort, interest and financial statesmanship of Charles M. Johnson, who alone is directly re sponsible for this service. Will the people of Macon Count v vote for PROMISES OR FOR PERFORMANCE? Macon County Johnson Supporters
