County Debt Dwindles as 1922 Highway Bonds Near End
Court House County pays roughly 35 000 on the 1922 highway bonds this Saturday morning to leave only the July 1 1951 final 32 000 payment before the county is freed from bonded indebtedness. The 1 000 000 bond issue approved in 1919 funded major highways including the Ellwood City road. The 4 percent interest on the 1922 series has been payable in serial form, with prior offers to redeem but not accepted until now. If no new bonded debt arises by July 1 1951 taxpayers face relief from principal and interest.
