Almshouse Reform Urged for County Farm in Journal Opinion
Leading taxpayers push prompt action and possible legislation to reform management of the county farm and almshouse. Auditors note potential savings of twelve to fifteen hundred dollars yearly with enabling acts, while resisting farm leasing as unnecessary. Public officers urged to act now.
Refund the Londered Debt
Auditors urged refunding the old bonded debt of twenty one thousand five hundred dollars at six percent. Replacing with four and a half percent bonds would yield the treasury about 322.50 annually, a small but worthwhile saving. Four percent bonds might also be acceptable to holders and buyers of the county obligations. Legislation is expected if authorities request it.
