Paying Off Bonds
On the Townsville
Railway Friday
One SI,OOO bond on the second
Townsville railroad bond issue, a serial
issue originally $30,000 will he pqid
off on time in New York June 1, G.
W. Adams, county accountant, an
nounced today. Payment of this bond
reduces the outstanding securities of
that issue to $21,000.
The original Townsville railroad
bond issued was for $75,000, all of
which falls due in a lump sum in
1949, 15 years hence. Several thou
sand dollars worth of that issue were
purchased at a very low market price
a few years ago. and that, together
with money now in the sinking fund,
accounts for approximately $20,000 to
apply toward liquidation of th** entire
issue.
Both bond issues are an obligation
of Townsville township only, and were
voted so that the township could ac
quire and operate the railroad, from
Manson to Townsville.
NO NAMES YET FOR
KITTRELL OFFICE
Although a Civil Service Examina
tion was held some weeks ago, no
names have as yet ibeen certified for
eligible list from which appointment
can be made to the office of post
master of Kittrell, it was learned to
day. There was some opinion that
there was no particular hurry just as
yet and a suggestion that the delay
might be waiting the outcome of the
primary election, since postmaster ap
pointments usually are made on the
recommendation of congressmen and
at the present time the Fourth Dis
trict has no congressman in Wash
ington .
