THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1-1 PAGE EIGHT THURSDAY, JULY 2, 1321 STATE TAKES OVER BONDS (Continued from pag- one) tion of., the county road tax ;in.l reducioii uf the school ta, the to tal saving amounts to jti cents. HowevcrMr. Barnard said it will probably be necessary to iii.:aas slightly the' levies for the county sinking fund and for general conn ty government expenses. He es timated that, alter readjustments in valuations within a ID per cent range, it would be necessary to levy a total county tax of a few cents more than a dollar. If the state had not taken over payment of the road bonds it is regarded un likely that the county could have made any reduction in taxes thi year. The new rate will not be 'd finite ly set until Tom I'.rysoti, register of deeds, has filed his report fur the past year, and revaluation ad justments have been made. The contract bv which the State Highway Department assumes pay ment ii the Macon county road bonds until 19-13 was negotiated through Charles Koss, attorney fur the. highway body. The coinmis- sion already had advanced th coiiny 21,770 to assist in nieetin; previous payments due. In effect, the agreement means that the state has assumed full 'responsibility for the principal of the bonds, al . though for a period of years it has agreed to pay both principal an intcrcsl.
