TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1924 CASH BASIS IS HELD SUCCESS INN. D, TRIAL Tax Commissioner Finds Cer- tificate of Indebtedness Plan Meets With Favor — ¥ CUTS INTEREST RATE Takes Place of Old Warrant System, Reducing Inter- est Charges to Taxpayers The law of the 1923 legislature, in i i cts on a cash s through substitution of certi- » fientes of indebtedness for warrants, : s worked out satisfactorily, it 1s de ed in the biennial report of C. C, Converse, state tax commissioner. This law was one of several passed by the legislature in revising taxa- tion laws. The new issues ily in favor, and hav ave grown stead- re cut the inter- “One of the purposes which actuat- ed the legislature in efacting Chap- 5 (House Bill 129), Laws o s that of reducing the inter- in resulting from the practice uing warrants in excess of on-hand,” says the report. fhe legal rate of interest upon such warrants is 7 percent and under the conditions prevailing in recent years, owners of such warrants were "generally required to discount them. The discount was seldom less than 5 percent resulting in a total interest charge of about 12 percent. There have heen times during recent years when there was no market for regis tered warrants at any reasonable rate of discount so that often the rate of discount was 10 percent and even 15 percent, while reports are not lack- ing to the effect that discounts as high as 26 percent were enacted in ome instances. Desirable Investment “In enacting Chapter 326, the legis- lature provided for the issuance, of a new form of public security known js certificates of indebtedness and Aought to surround them with such safe guards as to make of them a highly desirable form of investment with the purpose in view of obtain- ing a lower rate of interest. Some districts have not experienced much benefit from this act due in part to the fact that their borrowings have been for small amounts and for short terms. Other districts have found the law very helpful and have found ready market for their certi- ficates at 6 percent or less, thus pro- viding funds so that all obligations have been paid in cash, to a saving-in interest, they hav found that in making purchases the: Aire able to get better price quota- tions and save substantial amounts i way. The new form of se- is steadily growing in favor, and there is reason to believe that! they will continue to grow in favor with the investing public.” Some Changes Suggested Suggestions for .amendments to prove the act are submitted in the rt, among them the advisability aging the maximum length of sates of indebtedness, which is 18 months; permitting borrowings for any purpose for which the offi cials of the taxing district are au- thorized to spend public funds; and whether “or not there should be a Statutory limit upon the number of prior years, the uncollected taxes of which are used in calculating borrowing capacity. “The day seems not far distant wien all taxing districts in our state wiN be operating upon a cash basis and taking advantage of every oppor- tunity to discount bills,” says the tax commissioner’s report. “This will put us in an enviable position in contrast with the average taxing dis- trict in many other states. The pro- vision prohibiting the incurring of debts in excess of taxes already levi- ed has met with general commenda- tion as has also the provision mak- ing the county treasurer the custo- dian of sinking funds.” There is no adequate legislation covering the borrowing of money .for fort terms by the state, the report, says, urging such provision be made by law. | CITY NEWS| | CITY NEWS | St, Alexius Hospital Admitted to the St. Alexius Hospi- tal for treatment: Vincent Geiss, Solen; Frank Wehri, Hebipn; Mrs. Alfred Helgeson, Tay- lor; Mrs, Bridget Smith, Burnstad; Miss Alice Lincoln, Elbowooda; Kin- ‘Ydon and Alice Black.
