Athens Council Faces Loan to Shore City Credit
An adjourned Athens Council meeting discussed securing a loan to stabilize the city credit. Delays in tax collections left the sinking fund unable to cover $14,350 in bonds and interest, with an attorney general opinion supporting the loan. The body approved the loan to be repaid as tax receipts come in. The group also noted rooftops of the high school could be used to mark the city for aviators, citing elevation advantages, and arranged monthly practice-pay for six volunteer firefighters from $3 to $6 per run.
