TWO SIDES TO THAT
CITY NOTE QUESTION

There seems to be feeling in Tiff
county that some settlement should
: be made of the notes for $4,000
which the county placed in the hands
of Frank Scarboro to secure money
for the county.
At least two sides of the matter
are recognized by The Triton Gazette
one of the most conservative of pa
pers, and no doubt there will be a
. division of opinion in Marietta on the
subject when it has been seriously
discussed.
We have not probed local sentiment
on the question, and the financial sta
tus of the city at this time would seem
to preclude the possibility of paying
or even acknowledging any part of the
notes, but We give the Gazette's arti-
Gle below:
"There is strong and growing SEN
timent that Tiff county's outstanding
notes, which were negotiated by
Frank Scarboro and for which the
county had no return, should be set
tied, if an equitable settlement can be
reached without recourse to the
courts.
at is generally recognized that as
a matter of law the notes cannot be
collected from the county, under the
broad, general provision of the con-
stitution that an obligation cannot
be placed upon the people of state,
county or municipality without those
peoples consent. The recognized
representatives of a people can incur
an obligation for the current year
and levy a tax to cover same, but
beyond the current year their power
does not extend.
''The indebtedness of state, coun-
ty, or municipality, beyond the cur
rent year can only be represented by
bonds, duly authorized by the voters
at the polls. For many years, in fact
until recently; counties and munich
palities could only borrow money to
meet an emergency or casual de-
ficiency from local banks, these banks
extending accommodation on behalf
of the county commissioners or other
recognized authority, looking to these
men as individuals to see that the
money was repaid.
"About four yeas ago Mr.. Scar
boro formed connections by which he
was able to handle county and mu-
nicipal paper. This vas welcomed by
both banks and county authorities,
for it came at timo when the banks
had little money to loan and carrying
county or municipal paper in large
amounts was rather burden. At
that time, Tiff county had been bor-
rowing money for several years-in
The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1919-03-21

fact has borrowed more or less every
year since the new county was or
ganized, being obliged to go in debt
for the first years expenses. These
loans were paid off and renewed every
year, having been occasionally re-
duced but never wiped out.
'There are two reasons urged why
the outstanding notes should be set
tied: The broad question of right,
and the county's credit.
"Repudiation of the outstanding
notes would not only throw us back
to conditions of ten years ago so far
as this county is concerned, but it
would injure the credit of every other
county or municipality in the state
that borrows money. 1t would limit
loan transactions strictly to local
banks and these could only handle
such paper to very limited extent, if
they handled it at all after the courts
had said that such notes could be
legally collected.
'The parties who discounted the
notes in this case did so on Tiff coun-
tvs credit. While they may not be
entirely free from blame, the fact re-
mains that they paid out their money
in good faith on the county's promise
to pay, although the county got none
of it. 1t may be argued with equal
force that the county having received
none of the money should not make
any of it good, but the fact remains
that either the county or the men
who loaned money on the county's
notes must lose. AS a matter of
The Marietta journal. (Marietta, Ga.) 1918-1944, 1919-03-21

right, which should lose? There is
the question.
Here are two parties, both in a
measure innocent, one of them faced
with heavy loss. While both are in
measure blameless, both are to a
certain extent culpable. Then why
not adjust the matter by compromise,
if compromise can be reached? Ex-
pend the money that would be spent
in litigation in paying part of the
notes, and add little to it if the
other parties show disposition to
meet the county half way? 1t will
be worth many times the sum SO spent
to maintain the county's credit-and

the question of right is also to be
considered.
eve believe the men who pay the
majority of the county's taxes will
agree with this. If the notes had been
signed by an individual or business
corporation, they would be collected
if the signer was worth the money.
Then shall county take refuge be-
hind a constitutional technicality?"

vision appealing to the members that in
the change from war to peace pro-
gram they become associated with activ-
tiles Of a different character, such as
public health nursing and the courses Of

tivities that may be established,
