COCHRAN CITED LAW Bankers Apprehensive for Credit of State As Result.

By VANCE ARMENTRQUT. Staff Correspondent of The Courier-Journal. Harrodsburg, July 22. The additional tax of 10 cents, ordered by the United States District Court on Mercer County to pay $50,000 the county borrowed in 1921. with interest, will Lnot have to be levied.

County Judge Ben C. Allen asserts. The levy ordered would go back to 1922 and apply on each of the succeeding years. Arule was Issued returnable July 23. Judge Allen said the order was entered on the information that the county levy was only 40 cents; but it is.

in fact, GO pents. the Constitutional limit. Judge Allen said $13,000 has been paid on the judgment and he believes the balance can be met with per cent bonds, without a vote of the people. He said a test suit tvill be brought in the Federal Court to determine whether this can be done. The bonds, amounting to were offered for sale and purchasers were found for them on condition that they were valid.

The interest amounts to about $10,000. Another thing Judge Allen denies is that the resistance to the collection on the note was an attempt nt repudiation. This does not signify that the action was in the nature o.f a friendly suit predicated on an agreed statement of facts. Attorneys were employed by the county on a contingent fee basis, and the fact were controverted, both in the pleadings and. testimony.

The county carried the Case to the Circuit Court of Appeals, which affirmed the Judgment of the District Court, entered tn April. 1922. The proceedings have attracted the attention of bankers and brokers, who were apprehensive that the credit of Kentucky counties and municipalities would be unfavorably effected hy attempted repuiliativi. The situation is quite different from that of the State deht, which was accumulated hy incurring obligations in excess of revenues. In this instance the county borrowed 430,000 outright, received the money, and gave its note to George A.

Eyer, of New York. The note was executed August 17. 1921. at per cent and due December 21, 1921. Jt was executed by J.

W. Davenport, then county judge, in accordance with a resolution of the Fiscal Court. It recited In terms that "each and every act. condition and thing, required to be done, to have happened, or to Sje performed precedent to-and in the issuance of this note, has been done, has happened, and has been performed, in full and strict compliance with the Constitution and laws of the State of Kentucky, and this note Is within every debt and other limit prescribed by law. and the faith and credit of Mercer County, Kentucky, are hereby irrevocably pledged to the punctual payment of the principal and interest of this note, according to its terms."

Former Judge Davenport said the money was borrowed anticitation of the revenues to provide' for the construction of the Harrodsburg Danville pike, which was afterward turned over to the State for maintenance. It was the last chance to get in under the old State aid law. and if the State had reimbursed the county promptly the note could have oeen met. the state, however, was so obligated to all the counties, that it had to resort to the annual installment plan, and has been paying Mercer County installments since. He said he wanted to renew the note, but County Attorney R.

L. Black insisted that the obligation was illegal and Eyer was afraid to take a new note. Davenport was succeeded in Janu ary, 1922. by Alien, who took the County Attorney's view that the transaction was invalid, and resisted collection. It was admitted by the county in the suit that the money was borrowed and received and that "the faith and credit" of the county were pledged "On the back of the note was a finan cial statement of Mercer County (Continued on Page 3.
