]. W. Ross, Eso.-Ay Dear Sir Yours or
the 7th inst, has been forwarded to me at this
place with a copy Of the article in the Journal
Of the 2sth ut., signed by Roach, Thornton and
Hunt.
In that article It Is said stated in Court
that no body wanted to avoid the payment Of
the bonds" Ia this there is an error. VIVA
did say was, that no oue, whom | represented
wanted to avoid the payment Of the debfs Of the
District actually incurred in the rebuilding and
lurnising the school house. did not concede
that the bonds represented the actual debts.
did, at one time, give my consent, that mon-
ey collected from taxes eived to pay Thu expense
ol rebuilding the school house, should be appli-
ed to the payment of the debts contracted Tor
that purpose. and nasmuch as then supposed,
and do now, that the money realized from the
negotiation of the bonds, had been applied to pay
the contractor for the erection Of the building.
agreed that, upon the surrender to the clerk Of
bonds then due, there might be paid to the holder
the face Of his bond, and interests at the rate OF
six per cent. per annuIn. This was moi to pay
the bonds but to pay the holder of the bonds what
wOuld have been due TO the contractor, If he had
not been previously paid from the proceeds Of
the bonds In other words, consented that the
bond holder should stand in the place of tic con-
tractor, to the extent that his money had paid
the contractor. The bombs were payable with
interest, at the rate Of eight per cent. per annum
Only six per cent interest was to be paid tO the
| holder of the bonds. The extra two per cen
was To abide the result Of the litigation.
All agreed, that up to this time, there had moi
been paid from the taxes collected. the full am
that the building had property cost That am
1t was conceded lught To be paid, and there wa'
M desire on the part Of those | represented tC
avoid its pay yment.
Itis again said in the article, that I conceded
"every dollar Of the face of the bonds issued b,
the old board wouid be paid without interest a
the rate of six per cent, even though the presen
board should gain the suit" THIS too is an er
ror. All did concede was that as far as tn
parties then represented was concerned, the
had no disposition to avoid the payment of an
debt contracted by the District for repairs upo
the house. There was ne desire to repudi,te an
debt. All asked was that the debt should frs
be established
then insisted and ALWAYS have, that th
bonds are not and never had been debts. SO fa
as the holders of the bonds are, at law or in equ
ty, the proper assgncGs Uf the dcbts of the ID j,
tricl, they will be plhl not as bond holders, b,
as assignces in equity of actual creditors.
