vntw'yfiKM. But,
however " way'itiethe commlttcu
after the mot mature deliberation, arc
clearly of the opinion that this Indebted
nest can never be paid, and this sooner
this tact U understood by the tax-payers,
and even ttic bondholders themselves, the
better It will be for'nll pjrtie concerned.
Your committee would respectfully re
mind' the citizens of the magnitude of au
undertaking to rid tbemselw of so great
a burden.
Four hundred thousand dollar at eight
per cent, interest, for twenty years, would
absorb $040,000 of the peoples' money,
which if placed iu the Enterprise Saving
Bank, and, Alexander County Bank, hi"
stead of being paid to the bondholders,
would amount' to an enormous sum, ex
ceeding luiehe hundred thousand dollart
at the end of twenty year. And still
the original debt will remain unpaid, and
so far as human foresight can determine,
our ability, to rid ourselvea ol this huge
anaconda Which encircle us, will be less
tUcn than It Is now.
It Is a burden Imposed upon every tax
paying citizen for thu. average lifetime of
those now Interested, and must become
an unwelcome legacy to tho next genera
tlon, unless we can Hud relief.
' 'The committee' recommend unity of
action lit whatever la done, for, without
it, no good could be accomplished. C
