Plan Test Suit on School Warrants
LITTLE ROCK A test suit is planned to decide if collectors must accept school district warrants for school taxes. The state Supreme Court has not ruled directly on the issue, but held collectors cannot be forced to accept them. Assistant Attorney General John Caldwell said collectors might accept warrants with discretion, urging cash for interest and maturities and warrants for the rest. Many traders cashed warrants with taxpayers, while collectors were unsure and reluctant to take risks on settlements. Caldwell’s ruling allows acceptance until the court rules otherwise.

Pulaski County Judge A. Cook has drawn no salary for over a year and a half, honoring a 1932 campaign pledge to serve on a cash basis. While seeking to reduce county expenses, he pursued the cash-basis goal as tax settlements and road fund redemptions edge the county toward solvency. The automobile dealer and property owner had said he did not want the salary if he failed to reach the cash basis target.
