Canton City Faces Cash Crunch From Late Street Taxes
The 1915 annual report of Secretary of the Linkine Fund Trustees E. E. Holland attributes Canton’s sinking fund overdraft to late street assessments and taxes that arrive after coupons on bonds are mailed. The waterworks fund improved from a $20,000 deficit in 1914 to near balance in 1915, helped by issuing fewer bonds. Holland proposes levying assessments earlier to free funds for bond interest payments and notes detailed bond records in a King’s Bond Record ledger benefiting transparency and accuracy.
