hanging over from year to year had
uade the floating indebtedness. Tfe
debt was here auG il MUS, lie paid.
Tie levy was IS high as it could be
| placed, and unless the debt was
taken up it would 60 Oh increasing
from year to year. Another rea-
son was to devise a mode of taxing
a certain class whom the ordinary
mode of taxation failed to reach. A
third reason actuating the majority
was that certain convenier.es are
enjoyed by the downtown business
men which suburban property did
not receive-police protection,
although those on the outside
limits paid the same tax as the
business men down town.
AS against these reasons, the mi
nority answered the argument that
the business part of the town re-
ceived additional conveniences, by
urging that three fourths Of the
taxes paid came from within call
ing distance Of the public square.
As to the trades not reached by the
present mode OF taxation, it was
urged that the merchants had not
asked for protection. AS to the main
point, the minority urged that the
floating debt be paid in the regular
way. that the legislature be petit
toned to raise the limit one mill,
and that that mill be applied to a
sinking fund and the debt funded.
Dr.. James Mcintosh said a meet
ing of this kind had been needed
for a long time. The town had
very often gone into debt when the
people did not know what was be-
ing done. 1t was we'll for the peo-
pie to learn occasionally the amount
of their debts. The opera houseS
water works, sewerage, graded
school and other bonds had been
put on the town by previous admin
istratiors. AS each administration
went into Office it was faced by
big interest bearing debt. He be-
lieved but for this the revenue of
the town would be sufficient to meet
current expenses. Council had paid
this year Sz,1oo into the sinking
fund held by the commissioners,
s., $50 due in Jan, 1908, and 1850
due this year. He mentioned this
merely to show what was becoming
of some Of the towns revenue.
The credit of the town was good
an &c: 5o"ds sold we'll. He hoped
that nothing would be done here to
iniure the credit of the town. If
council was in trouble the citizens
ought to see to it that by license
system or other taxation the credit
of the town should be sustained.
He hoped the town would never go
into debt again without fund IN
sight to wipe it out. He called to
mind by actual count some 800, 900
bonded Indebtedness of the town at
present.
Mr.. Alan Johnstone said that all
were in savor of sustaining the cred
| it of the town. He knew none
present who was not. If a license
was bound to come, haveit distinct
| ly stated that it was for the purpose
of liquidating the floating debt and
that when the debt was paid the
license would be taken of. He
was willing to help council out OF
trouble and make it happy but he
didn't want it done by a license that
The herald and news. [volume] (Newberry S.C.) 1903-1937, 1904-01-12

about SIS, 900.
Whv is that not adequate 10 our
ordinary government, economically
administered? What expenses have
we as town that should require
the expenditure OF more than slS,-
900?
The license was mot to diminish
taxation, but to raise an amount IN
addition to the amount raised by
taxes.
When he suggested that the town
council be present, it was to elicit
this information.
How much more in addition to
the $4,000 will be raised by the
license and what it is for? Until
this was known intelligent action
could not be taken and not one
present knew. Should the license
amount to $1,000, it would make
s2s, 900 for expenditures each year
bv the town. He was not opposed
to the appropriations that had been
made-he thought many OF them
wise-but an expenditure of S25,-
900 each year for running this
little government did seem to him
exorbitant. He thought it was time
70 know exactly what debts the
town had. He had been informed
there was a debt of some S1o,-
600 or :S12, 900 or in addition
to the bonded debt. How did 1t
get there and to whom was it due!
He was not in the habit of disclalm-
ing ill-will, and he accused nobody.
If it was carried by bank it was
probably costing some 8 per cent.
interest. If there was this debt it
should be funded and taken care Of.
He had meant no disrespect when
he had suggested that council be
requested to be present at this
meeting. Would it be disrespect-
fri for him to ask his overseer
what he had done with his funds
during his absence? He wanted
to know the necessity for this
license.
DR.. W. E. Pelham stated that
the majority of the committee were
of the opinion that the meeting ceuld
prepare a schedule which would
be agaeeable to council and which
would not be burdensome. If money
must be raised in some way and
certain businesses we're not reached
under the present mode OF taxation
il occurred to him that a license
ordinance was necessary. He re-
ferred to the express company, the
telephone system, and enterprises
of that kind.
THE POSITION OF THE MINORITY.
Mr.. Alan Johustone stated the
minority position. The minority
were opposed to reporting in favor
of the system, because, however
low the tax might be made at
present, a precedent would be es
tab,ished and it was not known
how high the tax might be raised.
And it seemed to the minority OF
the committee a system OF double
taxation. The town must take
care of its debts. But he with the
other minority members of the COM
mistee thought that the solution
was to issue bonds to take up the
floating Indebtedness, Then au-
thorize a special levy for a special
pu1pose,-to pay those bonds,-not

you have about $3.50 900 bonded
indebtedness.
Col JohnS:one said that IL seek
ing light he was going to probe to
the bottom. if it was possible and
propoundeG a number Of questions
to the meeting, some of which were
answered satisfactorily aud some Of
which no one present was able to
answer.
There was considerable discus
sion as to why the opera house bonds
had not been taken up under the
Act creating sinking fund to be
applied TO the liquidation of the
debt. DR.. o. B. Mayer stated that
no proviso was made for paying the
opera house bonds. There was a
sinking fund, however, for the water
works bonds.
Mr.. F. H. Dominick stated that
the Act did not create sinking
fund to retire the opera house bonds,
but had provided for 24o 500 bonds,
bearing 5 per cent, to D H Wheeler.
and had leavied 7 mill 10 pay the
interest, and if there should be sur
plus, to retire the bonds
Dr.. Cromer stated that while he
was mayor the taxable property
amounted to about one million and
a quarter and the mill levy bare
ly paid the interest,
DR.. Mcintosh gave some valua-
bic INFORMATION as to the water
works bonds, showing that this debt
was being liquidated. The COM
missiouers had investments amount
ing to aboutSS, 900, whichpractlcally
amounted to having retired $4,000
of the bonds. The commissioners
had preferred to buy bonds IL which
the town was interested when they
were obtainable, but they were very
high, selling at about 1.oe
Col. Johnstoue then wanted to
know what the floating debt was,
and was informed by Mr. W. H.
Wallace that it was somewhere be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000. He
wanted to know what this was for
and where it was placed and called
upon the three bank presidents
present to state if their banks were
carrying any part Of it.
President Kinard, of the Com
mercial bank, stated that his bank
was carrying about $500 at s per
cant.
President Carlisle, of the Nation
al bank, stated that his bank was
carrying about $1,000 at s per cert.
President Mcintosh, OF the Saw
ings Bank stated that bis bank was
carrying about $500 at S per cent.
DO we owe any thing else?'
continued Co... Johustone. We
have each year about $4,000 in
taxes. How much have we lett tor
current expenses? Council were
gentlemen of character and. intel
ligence and they could tell what
they wanted with this license. At
the last meeting he wanted to ask
council to be present, but, be was
told that if the citizens asked the
council elected by the citizens to be
present that council would be in
suited. This was something new
in free America.
Mr.. Cabaniss stated that he had
secured statement from council
showing that the income last year
from taxes, fines, etc., was $4,000,
