Elyrian Voices Criticism Of County Note Sale
Don W. Myers accused the county commissioners of selling relief notes for 21 1 4 percent without inviting bids from multiple bond houses. Katz and O'Brien of Cincinnati bought the notes at 21 1 2 percent, later reduced to 21 1 4 by a bonding company concession. Davidson said the cut saves $500 to $900 and relief funds will be paid, with $67,000 due next week. Myers cited a local firm and banks ready to buy at 1 3 4 or 2 percent, urging competitive bids.
