State Financed Reaching Low Tide Expences
Third Class Warrants Falling Due Next Month May Not be Paid Promptly Baton Rouge Aug 10 1909 Next month if some provision for borrowing money is not made by the State Board of Liquidation the third class and possibly many of the second class warrants will not be paid. This is the prediction of those familiar with the fiscal affairs of the State. Last fall the State suspended payment of third and second class warrants but was able to pay those warrants after the tax money on the 1908 assessment rolls began to come in. The treasurer was able to take care of the warrants this month because Tax Collector Fitzpatrick of Orleans parish made an unusually large settlement representing the State licenses sold in the parish of Orleans and the license money to be received next month will help out conditions but it will not be sufficient to keep the State on a cash basis and enable it to meet first second and third class warrants as parties to whom these appropriations are made are entitled to draw them. The State institutions and boards will be the hardest hit when the State treasury cash gets so low that second and third class warrants can not be paid. The State always keeps sufficient money on hand to meet the first class warrants the salaries of the State officials and there is no danger of the officials not drawing their money but all of the other warrants will not be paid unless the State arranges to borrow about a quarter of a million dollars.
