County Scrip Taken Out of Circulation by Board
The county board of supervisors met in special session at the courthouse in Atlantic and voted to call in all county scrip dollars and issue a bed to County Treasurer Lester Breeling to pay off the debt. Two years earlier about 4400 in scrip had been issued as relief. 2600 worth was sold, about 1100 scrip dollars paid in full, and roughly 200 in circulation remain. The scrip, once a broad aid to merchants and relief labor projects, proved a headache to business men.
