Johnson Sees
Way Out For
N. C. Counties
While Levy For Schools May Not
Exceed 15o, Other Levies
May Be Made.
Raleigh, July 4.—Charles M.
Johnson, secretary of the local
government commission, today
saw "a way out” for 32 counties
facing the necessity of refund
ing millions of dollars worth of
bonds in the opinion handed
down by the. Supreme Court
yesterday on section 60 of the
county finance act.
Mr Johnson pointed nut that the
decision merely stands by the con
stitution in limiting the county tax
levy for general funds to 15 cents
on the $100 valuation, and also
recognizes the law that unlimited
levies may be authorized for'
‘special purposes.”
He said mast of the bonds need
ed to be refunded by counties were
issued for "special purposes,” such
for schools, roads, and debt ser
vice. and the refunding of these
obligations can be made by ad
ditional levies.
Counties, however, he continued,
will be powerless to raise their tax
rates to refund general fund de
ficits. But, he said, this problem
is not as imperative is the refund
ing of special purpose obligations.
He ridiculed the suggestion that
the Supreme Court's failure, to al
low counties to issue taxes in ex
cess of the constitutional limit for
general expenses refunding would
necessitate a special session of the
general assembly. It only adds to
