County's Bonds
Are Now Rated 'A'
Laurens County Treasurer Al
len D. Coleman, received notice
during the week that all bonds
outstanding for Laurens County
have been asigned an “A” rating
by Moody’s Investment Service.
This rating is usd by inVestors
as a guide to the quality of bonds
of states, counties and munici
palities.
Coleman said that this is in
dicative of the sound financial
condition of the county and is
most favorable. There are only
two ratings higher than the “A"
rating assigned to Laurens Coun
ty, these being “AA” and triple
“AAA,” the latter in most cases
being reserved’ for bonds of some
of the states which are in ex
tremely sound financial condi
tion. Moody’s Investment Service
uses various criteria to deter
mine these ratings such as
amount of bonded debt per capi
ta income, assessed valuation of
property, ,etc. j .
This new rating will be an ad
vantage to the county in the
event further bdnds are to be is
sued.

Issue Brings 3.09% Rate
Ambulance Service
Claims Are Unpaid
Still unpaid in the Supervisor’s
office in Laurens are three
claims totaling $450 for ambu
lance service in Laurens held
over from the last fiscal year
ending June 30.
The monthly claim of $150 for
July, which has not yet been pre
sented to a meeting of the Coun
ty Commissioners, for the first
month of the new fiscal year, will
raise the total claims for ambu
lance service to $600.
The three claims for service for
the last three months of the last
fiscal year do not bear the signa
tures (endorsement) of the Sena
tor and two members of the
House of Representatives. Neith
er are they budgeted expendi
tures (an appropriation for such
service does not appear in last
year’s county appropriation
bill).
While he did not say so, Super
visor Furman E. Thomason in
ferred the claim for ambulance
service for the first month of the
new fiscal year cannot legally be
paid by the Board of Commis
sioners since the new appropria
tion bill does not prpvide any
funds for ambulance service.
The Supervisor said that
claims totaling $2,257.62 against
teh county for various items held
over from last year havfr\been
paid out of contingent fund\ in
the new appropriation bill.
Seven financial houses submit
ted bids, either in person or by
mail, with the bids ranging up to
3.297 per cent.
City officials and niiembers of
the City Bond Commission ex
pressed themselves as pleased
with the outcome of the bond
sale, indicating as it does the
high rating of Clinton bonds and
the excellent financial condition
of the city. . •
Immediately following the
bond sale a special meeting of
Council was held at which the
sale of the bonds to the Furman
Company was approved, with the
Bond Commision concurring.
Proceeds of the bond sale will
be used for expansion of the
city’s sewer system. Included is
construction of an oxidation
pond and the accompanying out
fall line to serve the southeast
ern section of the city; also the
construction of three other short
er lines to serve areas where
sewer service is not now avail
able.
