Magistrate Ferguson Holds
That Two Thirds of Pled
ges are Noncollectable
A hearing that created much inter
est here during the past week was
concluded Tuesday afternoon, before
Magistrate Frank Ferguson in which
the North Carolina Park Commission
was trying to collect unpaid pledges
made by citizens of the county for
the development of the Great Smoky
Mountain National Park.
Magistrate Ferguson ruled that
judgement be given against the de
fendants for one third of the total
amount of the pledges.
Mr. Ferguson took the position that
the pledges were barred by threp
years statute of limitations 1-ecame
they were due at that time.
The 1929 part of the pledge, how
ever, is collectable and judgment
was granted for that amount of the
unpaid pledges.
Several of the defendants brought
up the fact that their pledges were
to he paid after the park was establish
ed, and argued that it was not es
tablished to date, thus making tli
cause of action premature
The court ruled that the park win
established by the net of Congress n
May 22, 192(5.
The exact amount of the pledges
involuved in the 10 cases was not
disclosed by the court.
