County Refunding Bonds Are To Be Sold Soon
Seeking Lower
Interest Rate In
Bond Program
Commissioners Met Monday
To Complete Plans; To
Receive Sealed Bids

At a meeting of the Ashe county
commissioners on Monday, plans
were carried forward that may
save the county a good sum OF
money in the refunding program
of the road and bridge bonds, pro-
vided that they can be sold at
a lower rate of interest than they
bear at the present.
The resolution was passed early
this month by the commissioners

bonds which are callable on De-
cember ! and placing them on the
market since it is now believed
they can be sold to bear a lower
rate of interest than the county
is now paying.
A legal notice of this resolution
was published at the time it was
passed and since there was no
opposition, the order was adopted,
in due form, by the commissioners
on Monday.
Sealed bids are to be received
by the local government commits
sion in Raleigh before October
%, at which time they are to be
opened.
The principal of the bonds out
standing is $1,028,000. 1t was
pointed out that the present con-
dition of the bond market would
probably make it possible to Sc
cure rate of interest lower than
the present, which runs from three
to four and o41e-half percell-. .
