The Official Paper of San Juan County
THURSDAY,1 NOVEMBER 7th, 1925
THE COUNTY DEBT.

The county is to be congratulated
upon the success which has attended
the efforts of the commissioners to fund
the floating debt. Bonds to the amount
of one and One-half per cent OF the
present equalized assessed valuation OF
the county will be shortly issued, ana
warrants for the same amount, less the
accrued interest, will then be reduced.
A substantial saving will then be effect
ed i'm the difference between the SIX
ner cent interest on the bonds and the
eight and ten per cent interest on the
warrants. And, furthermore, the place
ing of bonds will put stop to the farce
of "beating the devil around the
stump" by the issuance of non-interest
bearing certificates of Indebtedness In
lieu OF warrants, which has been played
for some months past to the very con-
siderable profit of few spectators and
a corresponding loss to the original
holders of these indefinite promises to
pay. The county's floating debt ought
all to have been funded Immediately
after the passage of the eight per cent
Interest law. The assessed valuation
of the county at that time was large
enough to have permitted the issuance
of bonds for sum sufficient to have
redeemed all the then outstanding
warrants, with accrued interest, and
nice little sum would have been saved,
as a large part of the warrants bear ten
per cent. This was not done, however,
and as consequence there will still be
q small floating debt after the bonds
are issued. But if the county's affairs
continue to be administered as care
fully and economically as they now
are, the remaining warrants can soon
be redeemed and the county put upon
a cash basis.
THE ISLANDER does not fully en-
dorse the policy, which has been gen.
orally followed by assessors through
out the state for the past three years,
of making very material reductions in
county assessments in order to avoid
paying any more state tax than abso-
lutely necessary. 1t may reasonably
be questioned whether this policy has
been beneficial to the counties, and it
certainly has not been beneficial to the
state, the Indebtedness of which has
very greatly increased during this
period. In most of the counties also
the receipts from taxes have been i'll
adequate to the payment of expenses
and very few warrants have been re-
deemed, while county debts have gen
orally increased. The record made in
this county during the long period of
industrial stagnatiOn and business de
preston, which began with and seems
likely to continue throughout the pres
ent Democratic administration, is all
exceptionally good one. 1t is doubt
full if any cOuny in the state is relative
ly in as good financial condition now
as San Juan county. New industries
are yearly springing into successful
being; big, orchards are coming into
bearing; fine farms are being cleared,
stocked and paid for; good buildings
are being erected and the people are
each year surrounding themselves with
more and more of the comforts of life.
San Juan county is all right!
