$4,000 OF BONDS
BOUGHT BY COUNTY
Additional Purchase Brings
Total to $4,000 in Re-
cent Weeks

An additional purchase of unmatur-
I'd, outstanding bond obliNaiiOns has
been purchased in the sum of $4,000,
it was announced today by Chairman
Samuel M. Watkins, of the Vance
Board of County Commissioners. This
makes a total of $4,000 bought in
during the past week or ten days, not
including $4,000 of Townsville town
shin railroad bonds, which would run
the total to $4,000
Purchase Of $4,000 of general coun-
ty bonds and the $4,000 Townsville
railro securities was announced a.
the n citing of the board last Mon
day.
Mr. Watkins said most of the money
for the redemption of these unmatur-
ed obi" ations came from net receipts
from he county's only liquor store.
VIII. oh has yielded to the county in
clear profits considerably more than
100000 since the store was opened
July IS, 1885. Some of the money used
in buying the bonds came from re-
gular sinking fund sources, but mostly
from liquor funds.
Little of the liquor revenue has ever
been applied to reduction of tax rates,
but has teen set aside as It accumll-
lated, and is being used to cut down
the county's bond debt.
Recent security purchases were of
issues spread over a period of years,
and not all in any single year or issue.
The $4,000 purchase announced to-
day was of school bonds due in 1943.
