Athens County cancels sale of Carey Act relief bonds
Athens County commissioners cancelled eight bid bonds for $33,300 Carey Act relief funding after determining state law restricts using bond revenue for relief. The county would have received $40,118.33 in relief funds for 1938 through a matching program, contingent on local tax-derived funds. The decision followed discussions with state officials and notes that legislation might change use of bond receipts.
