The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1909-04-09

The story of the decree Of the chan
Gerry court decree of Harrison county,
published in the Hattiesburg News
on Wednesday authorizing a compro-
mise between the ]. E. North.Lumber
company and it's creditors, brings to
a close a suit in the Forrest county
chancery court, involving perhaps the
largest amount known to the chancery
docket of this county.
The latter settlement brings up au.
other story connected with the j. F..
North Lumber company, which had a
large saw mill plant at Bond, Harri-
son county, and had acquired large
timber land interests in Harrison,
Perry and Forrest counties. About
three years ago the North Lumber
company bonded its entire property
for $1000,000, making the Lincoln
Trust company of st. Louis trustee.
A large part of the lands which
North had mortgaged did not, in fact
belong to him. He had bought about
$4,000 acres of land under a contract
that provided, if he failed to pay the
purchase money at maturity, the pur-
chase should be void. He failed in
part to make the payments.
In October, 1907, the J. E. North
Lumber company was placed in the
hands of receiver by the chancery
court of Harrison county The bond
holders, represented by c. H. AleXan-
der of Jackson, tried to have the case
removed to the United States courts,
the North Lumber company and the
receivers having consented.
Just before the application for re-
moval was heard, Geo II. Burr & Co.
and the Louis Werner saw mill com
pany of st. Louis, large creditors OF
the North Lumber company, through
Judge N. C. Hill of Hattiesburg, OBJ
jected to the removal to the federal
court and the chancery court refused
to grant the transfer.
Finding that large part of the
lands included in the mortgage had
not been paid for, Judge Hill had the
Messrs. Burr & Co., bankers of ST.
Louis, to pay the balance that the
North Lumber company owed on The
lands, and take the title themselves
which was done in the name of E. c.
King and ]. e. Heukamp of St. Louis
Suit was then instituted in the
chancery court of Forrest county
against the bondholders for the $4,000
acres of timber lands that the J. E
North Lumber company had purchas
ed and had failed to pay for, but in
cluded them in the mortgage, the com
plainants urging that the mortgag 60
was fraudulent and void
Geo. H. Burr & Co. of st. Louis he''
a debt against the North Lumber com
pany of about $4,000, besides the
purchase money paid for the lands
also they held $4,000 worth of The
North Lumber company bonds.
The other bondhoders then agreed
to pay Burr G. Co. the amount the!
had paid out for the lands and tn
debt the North Lumber COMPANY
owed Burr & Co. of $4,000, amount
ing to s7s,333 principal and $3.50
interest and an attorney fee of $3.50
due Judge N. c. Hill.
The bondholders are to take III

GIG, allowed Judge Hill a fee of ST..
423, and ordered the receivers to nav
to Judge Hill at once $1,000 in part
payment.
The J. E. North Lumber compauy
property when put up for sale is not
to be sold for less than $1,000. 0oe.
Under the settlement the unsecured
creditors, it is estimated, will get
about 40 cents on the dollar.

be issued for these extensions of wa
ter and sewer systems are negotiable,
as the act of the legislature provides,
and hence it is quite probable will
be transferred. If the city failed to
pay the interest promptly and redeem
the certificates when due, the holders
thereof could go into court and tie
up the entire city water and sewer
systems, and perhaps have a special
levy made to carry out the promises
OF the city.
Hence the Record believes it would
be wise for the city council to enter
into these agreements with great care
and be certain that the city will be
in a position to carry out any con
tracts it may enter into.
Where there Is sufficient prospect
of rentals to pay interest on and to
finally redeem the certificates, the
extensions should be made but ii
would be well to proceed slowly 9th

Second, that the certificates shall be
redeemed, one-third each in five, sew
en- and ten years from the date OF
issue.
It Is very evident then that these

er systems should be very carefully
regulated, Inc the city council should
be certain that the rentals will be
sufficient to pay the yearly interest of
six per cent and to redeem the certi-
ficates, which are practically bonds of
the city, within the specified time.
Should these extensions be made to
sparsely settled districts from which
little evenue could be obtained the
charges must be met from the city
treasury, and the certificates finally
redeemed from the same source.
The Record would be glad to see
the city system extended to settled
portions oil the city where the city
lieve 1t would be a great mistake to
extend the systems to districts which
ri not populated or sparsely populat-
cd. In the latter case the city would
be issuing bonds for extensions from
which there would be NO Immediate
returns and must pay six per cent in
terest on the cost and redeem the
certificates or indebtedness within the
time above specified.
The present bonded Indebtedness
OF the city is about $215, 900, the inter.
est thereon costing the city about
$4,000 per year. This takes quite q
lump out Of the total n of the
city. Then the city must erect addi-
tional school buildings within the next
year OF two, which will still further
add to the yearly drain upon the city
treasury.

EXTENSIONS OF THE WATER
AND SEWER SYSTEMS.

The latest territorial legislature
passed an act to enable cities to ex-
tend water and W systems. 1t is
understood that this act was prepared
in Roswell. The act provides that
property owner may apply to the city
council for permission to lay extern
sions OF such systems at their own
expense, and connect up with the city
systems. The act provides that the
work shall be done under the super
vision and control of the city engt-
neer, and when completed shall be-
come the property OF the city.
The city shall then issue certificates
of Indebtedness to the property own
ers to bear interest of six per cent
per annum, payable yearly. The act
then further says:
ed by said certificates, and interest
thereon, shall be liquidated as fol
lows: By the application of all charg
es, fees and payments collected by
said city for water rentals, water use
and sewer connections in the district
covered and served by said extension,
and may be l~iquidated by the appHca-
ton of any moneys in b city Treas
ury, not otherwise appropriated, which
the city authorities may decide to ap-
ply toward said liquidation.
Sec. S.-Said certificates snail be
redeemed as follows, to-wit: one-third
Of the full amount of said certificates
issued for any construction, within 5
years from the late thereof, one-third
within z years from the date thereof,
and one-third within 10 years from the
date thereof; and the interest on said
certificates shall be payable annual

It will be noted that the above por
Ion of the act provides several very

income from the extensions does no
provide sufficient revenue to liquidate
