IN THE MATTER OF SE V ;TER IMPROVi! KEENT DISTRICT
NO. 102 OF LITTLE ROCK,ARKANSAS
PETITION FOR INCREASED
TAX RATE
TO THE HONORABLE' MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK,ARKANSAS
The commissioners for Sewer Improvement District No.
102 of the City of Little Rock, Arkansas, respectfully state
that the principal and interest of the bonds issued for said
district maturing January 1 and July 1, 1931 in the total sum
of $2,347.50 are past due and unpaid; that this condition is
explained as follows: the amount of money borrowed originally
eras not sufficient to complete the improvement and it was
necessary the first yeax to issue certificates of indebtedness
for unpaid bills for construction work; that the district had
on hand September 28, 1927 only the sum of $725.49, with which
to pay X2,100 of principal and interest of bonds maturing be-
fore the next collection of taxes; that the district was able
by borrowing and issuing certificates of indebtedness from
time to time to meet the installments of principal and interest
on the bonds as they became due until January 1, 1931; that
due to the financial depression the district was not able to
borrow the money to�the 1931 bond maturities; that there were
considerable delinquencies prior to 1929 and that the total
delinquencies for 1929 and 1930 are in the sutra of approximately
X1,500; that the district has on hand only the sum of $100;
that the taxes at the present rate of four and one - fourth (4 )
per cent will amount to about A2,600 payable August and September
of this year; that Brown- Crummer Company, representing the
bondholders, recently sent a representative to Little Rock for
the purpose of bringing a suit and putting the district in the
hands of a receiver, which Mould be very expensive to the
tax payers of the district; that after studying the situation,
said company agreed that if the district would increase its
rate of tax for the year 1931 to six (6go) per cent and mould
diligently prosecute suits for the recovery of delinquent
taxes, that the receivership mould be waived for the present;
that if the delinquent taxes can be collected and all taxes
due this year can be collected at a six (6%) per cent rate,
there will be sufficient funds to pay the delinquent bonds
and interest and to pay those maturing prior to the collection
of taxes in 1932; that it is absolutely necessary in order to
secure sufficient funds with which to pay said bonds and in
order to avoid the expense of a receivership that the tax
rate be increased for the year 1931 to six (6 ) per cent.
A form for ordinance levying a tax rate of six (6 °fl,)
per cent for 1971 is presented herewith; and the commissioners
for the district respectfully request that your honorable
body pass said ordinance.
Respectfully submitted,
