Lively Clash Over Cemetery Bond Payouts and Substitutes
County officials clashed over payment of $1,216,300 in bonds with $87,510.85 interest due. The six percent 1830 riot bonds were called and $500,000 lifted as the plan shifted to substitute bonds at higher rates. Major holders included Dollar Savings Bank, William Thaw estate, and Charles J. Clark. The row led to a counter move, as officials sought to force payoff of bonds held by those seen as influencing terms, paying off those bonds yesterday and leaving others without future substitution options.
