Taxpayers Given
An Explanation
Continued from Page j

and for Welfare work. We cannot
defy the State and National
Government and refuse to do our
part in Ashe County and we do
not believe that our citizens and
taxpayers would have us do so.
Many aged and needy people
have not received the benefits of
these new laws and are, constant
ly making application for aid. We
have held the amount levied and
collected in the County to the
lowest possible figures and Ashe
County has received more from
the Equalization Fund for these
purposes in proportion to our po-
pulation than any other County
in North Carolina. We do not be-
ieve that the citizens and tax
payers of the County can or will
condemn us for doing our part
along these lines.
6. The above matters are among
the main things causing the in
crease in the tax rate; but per-
haps some of our people believe
that the refinancing of our bond
ed indebtedness has brought and
will bring an extra burden in
taxes. Four years ago, we faced
as your County Officials a situa-
ton which we believed it was our
duty to undertake to do some
thing about. We found that the
County owed approximately ST.
3OO,OO0.OO of which about one half
million dollars was past due. We
found that the County had been
sued and was being sued in the
Federal Court and many other
suits were threatened. We found
when the cases came to trial that
judgment was always rendered
against the County for the full
amount of the bonds and interest
and even interest on the past due
interest at the rate of six per
cent. We found that the Court
was requiring the payment of ap-
proximately one tenth each year
of the amount of judgments TAX
en- and at least one half of the in
terest and that the remainder
was standing as unpaid judgments
against the County drawing inter-
est at the rate of six per cent.
By hard and continued work and
effort, we got through for the
County a Refunding Plan which
gives the County 81 years on the
principal and upon which we are
now paying three per cent inter-
est in full payment of interest
charges, thus saving the County
and it's taxpayers hundreds OF
thousands CT dollars in interest
as we'll as substantial amounts in
fees and Court cost. We
got through this Plan with the
help of the Local Government
