Failure to Sell Bonds Required Auditor to Change Tax Levy in Three Townships. j ' < At the last session of the legislature the delegation from Newberry county created'a commission to sell a sufficient number of bonds to take J up the indebtedness for railroads in townships Xos. 1, 8 and 9, and also to i pay past indebtedness of the county. ] That commission is composed of the j ? county supervisor, the county treasurer, the councy sheriff, the ' ? coun .y clerk of court and W. A. Mc- < Swain. j I The railroad indebtedness in town- ( j ship No. 1 on the first of January for i the Augusta, Edgefield and Newberry railroad was $15,115.14; No. 8 ? fnwnRhin S5.3S1.46. The C. N. & L. t in No. 1 township had outstanding ,t about $2,500.00 and No. 9, $2,654.20 i making a total indebtedness cm the" first of January of about $26,000.00^ for railroads in the three townships. J The commission proposed to issue | $49,000.00 of county bonds to take j care of the past indebtedness and the j indebtedness of the townships for j railroads. The bonds were sold to a syndicate, but when the attorneys j came to look into the legal aspects pf j ^ the case, some defect in the act was | <t discovered, so far as it undertook to I I care for the railroad indebtedness of j the townships, and, therefore, the , y syndicate declined to take the bonds. I Later the commission has sold to j 2 the same company $22,000.00 of conn-! ? i nrV, ioV? tr> nflv thp nast 1 ly Donas, witu wmcu vw v-^ x ^ indebtedness, and it is thought that th:se .bonds will run the gaun:let sue- ( cessfully with the attorneys for the! I company purchasing the bonds, and j that in a short time the money will be j in hand to pay the past indebtedness j r of the county. *' ! j The act creating the commission; and providing for an issue of bonds, authorizes the county aditor to I ivy i in Xo. 1 township two-thirds mills ;o pay the interest and create a sinking j fund for. the railroad indebtedness of j that township, and one-fourth of a j mill in No. 9 township and one and ] one-half mills in No. 8 township, i County Auditor Werts had made up his i books and his duplicate for the county ' X j treasurer, charging the aoove levy in the various townships. After the 2 failure of ihe commission to dispose ( of the bonds to take up this indebted- ^ ness of the townships to the Stat3 1 Sinking Fund commission, it became ( necessary for th- auditor to change ] his books and the levy in the three ] townships, but before doing so he con- suited the attorney general. In an opinion by Assis't Atty General Fred H. Dominick, the auditor is directed to , place on his tax duplicate for Newhprrv countv a special tax, proviacu % for under which loans set out in the said acts were made for the purpose of repaying said loans. The opinion says: "'As the loans , nave not been repaid to the sinking ' j fund commission, it is your duty to : continue to place tii;s special levy < upon your duplicate each year until the loans are repaid in full to the sinking fund commission." Therefore, I instead of the levies which have be^n : placed upon the duplicate, as stated ! above, the auditor had to change his !. books in the three townships so as i to place a levy on No. L of two mills; j Xo. 9 two mills, and Xo. 8 three mills, ; with which to raise the money to re- j pay the sinking fund commission. In order to provide for the payment ! of the interest on rhe bonds and to create a sinking fund to pay the bonds ; issued for past indebtedness, the act j provides a levy of one-fourth of one mill on all the taxable property in the county. The following is the letter in full ' from the assistant attorney general to County ,'Auditor Eugene S. Werts: October 9, 1913. IT? T T ** /^1 i... A 3 X iur.

In reply thereto I will say thai the Acts under which the loans set out in the said Acts were made, provided that a special tax should be levied on the 1 property of the respective townships 1 # I for tne purpose of re-paying the said 1 loans. As the loans have not been 1 repaid to the sinking fund com mis- 11 sion it is your duty to continue to j place this special levy upon your dup- j ^ licate each year until the loans are < re-paid in full to the sinking fund < commission. j Yours very truly, !.
