County Declared to be $16,
000 Overdrawn, Over
County Budget
WON'T CARRY PAPER
J. A. Gordon declares Court
is Paying Money on As
sets not Materialized
Until the county court
lays all of its financial cards
upon the table, county road
warrants will not be honor
ed at the First National
bank, it became known to
day. County road warrants at
the American National bank
are not being honored, be
cause the county court has
overdrawn its budget road
limitation $16,000, E M.
Bubb, cashier of the Ameri
can National bank announc
ed today.
For the past week, road
warrants have been refused
by local financial institu
tions and will not be honor
ed until the bank can be
assured of some early re
turns from the county paper.
"There is nothing vital about the
situation," J. A. Gordon, president
of the First National bank said to-
day. "This is our refusal lo hontr
the warrants does not indicate In
any sense that the county Is In hard
financial straits. .....
"Simmered down the facts of the
case are this: the county for some
reason or other Is apparently Issu
ing warrants on unpaid taxes, or
assets which undoubtedly will he
realized but have not yet material
ized. Must Held Warrants
"Now. they go ahead and Issue
those warrants. We cas.i the war
rants and are forced to hold them,
until there is a chance of return,
without any interest.
"In other .words, we ure hold
ing dead money, without any In
terest being collected, to accomo
date the county court which Is Issu
ing warrants on assets which have
not materialized. Briefly, It is not
good business, on our part. We pay
the County interest on their money,
that is held in our bank, but thry
pay us no interest when the situ
ation is reverted."
"Leslie Rogers, (ashler of tho
i bank, appeared before tho county
cjurt and explained to them the
stand f the batik. We expected the
court ta give us a statement of how
soon money wjuld replenish tho
county road fund, but they have not.
"We ar taking this means to
bring a show down of tho cards,
so that we can see for ourselves
b.-w soon we can realize from the
road wariants."
Mr. Gordon declined to make pub
lic the amount of county paper tho
baak waj curry In.
Mr. Ilubh's statement on l.thall'
of the American National bank was
