| Some years ago the townships Of
numbers l, 8, and in this county is-
sued bonds to aid in the building Of
railroads through those townships.
The bonds in No. 8 Township were
for the c., N. & L. railroad and part
OF those Of No. /. The others in No.
and all Of those in No. 8 were
for all Of the Auguta & Newberry
railroad, which was never built.
Most of these bonds are now past
due and the others will be due very
soon. The bonds in No. 1 Township
For the aid Of the Augusta, New
berry and Edgefeld road amount to
$39. 400, and in No. 8 Township to
$4,000. These in aid Of the c., N. g.
l.. i'll Township No. 1 amount to $1O,-
600 and in No. 8 to $12,5OO. Some
of these bonds, rs stated, have been
due since 1903.
The act of the Legislature provid-
cs that the county commissioners and
the mayors and aldermen Of the in
corporaaed towns in the townships
shall constitute a board to provide
for the refwnding Of these bonds and
the rate of interest was fixed at G
per cent. That law was amended at
the recent session of the legislature
providing that the rate should not
exceed 6 per cent, so that the bonds
nG"ht be refunded at a less rate Of
interest than they are now bearing.
Mr.. f.. II. Dominick has been en-
plnred by the county commissioners
and the mayors and aldermen Of the
several towns to make the necessary
ARRANGEMENTS and to provide for the
refunding Of these bonds.
Mayor A. II. Brown and council, Of
Newberry: Mayor f. N. Kibler and
council, of Prosperity; and Inten-
dant r. G. Spearman and council, Of
Helena, will meet this morning at
10 O'Clock in the office Of the county
supervisor with the supervisor and
the commissioners to take IN the
matter Of making the necessary ar
Aongements as provided under the
act for the rcfundino Of the bonds
mentioned.
IF these bonds are refunded at a
low rate Of interest as they should
he, there will be a considerable say
in" to the townships in the matter
of interest.
