Meigs County Sells Bonds to Fund Poor Relief
Meigs County commissioners, by regulation, sold 30000 in poor relief bonds to Farmers Bank and Savings Co of Pomeroy at 2.25 percent interest, the lowest bid. Provident Savings Bank of Cincinnati bid 5.5 percent. Bonds secured by state excise tax, repaid from cosmetics and beer stamp tax, not advancing funds. Welfare Director Corradini appeals to township trustees as relief officials hesitate to absorb the full burden.
