Settlement Talks Delay Bond Funds In Mt Airy Township
Last Thursday the sheriff and Mt Airy Township officials met with Commissioners to settle bonds. No funds changed hands and only interest terms were discussed. The sheriff would pay interest on 1000 dollars from 1902 but seeks noninterest on about 7000 dollars. The township had paid over the money, yet its application remains unsettled and bonds continue to accrue interest. The article accuses the Republican party circle of mismanaging affairs.
