THE ROMANS.
The .Bondholders Agree to a Compro
mise, with New Ronds to Amount of
Seventy Cents on the Dollar.
At 11 o’clock yesterday morniug the
holders of bonds of the city of Rome
met a special committee from the citi
zens and municipal board of that place
at the office of Messrs. John J. Cohen
& Sons, on Broad This com
mittee consisted of Messrs. Jas. W.
Bones, W. F. Ayer, J. L. Camp aud Geo.
W. Bowen, who were the accredited
bearers of a proposition for a compro
mise between their city of Rome and
her bonded debt creditors. There were
represented about $200,000 of the Rome
bonds.
The meeting was organized on mo
tion of Mr. D. R. Wright, by calling
Major W. F. Herring to the chair. Ma
jor J. A. A West was, on motion of
Major Jos. Canahl, requested to act as
secretary.
Mr. Bones, of Rome, as spokesman
of the committee, said that on the 7th
iust. the citizens of Rome held a meet
ing to consider the matter of their
bonded indebtedness. To a sub-commit
tee of seven from the citizens and from
the municipal council the several plans
suggested aud argued at that conven
tion wero referred, and this sub-com
mittee had perfected a plan of com
promise which had been approved by
the citizens aud the council, and
under instructions from these lat
ter the committee of four had
eomo to submit this basis of
compromise to the holders of the
bonds. They came as business men to
make a business proposition, entertain
ing uo hard feelings, indulging in no
hard words, and deprecating both
alike. Regretfully the conclusion had
been reached that Rome was uuable to
pay all she owed; and the settlement
proposed was the result of harmoniz
ing the various views aud interests in
their town. If accepted—and this they
could not demand—the committee wero
of opinion it would adjust all difficul
ties and be agreeable to Rome. He
then read the following
PLAN OF COMPROMISE.
Rome, Ga., Junt IC, 1875.
Hon. J. to. Spullocli, Chairman, and Gentle
men of the Committee:
We respectfully submit for your consid
eration the following report as a basis of
compromise and settlement between the
holders f Rome bonds and the city.
First-New bonds, in lieu of the bonds
now ox the hands of bondholders, which
shall bear 7 per cent, interest, payable semi
annually on the first of May and the first of
November of each year, and represent 70
per cent, or the par value of the old bonds.
Second—The payment in cash, on the first
of November, 175, by the city of Rome of
one-third of all the coupons past due—the
total amount being $42,000, as near as we
could ascertain, and $14,000, being one
third, or the cash payment—the balance of
Slid interest, $28,000, to be funded in bonds
bearing 7 per cent, interest, payable semi
annually.
Third—The new bonds shall be issued
and made payable in series each year, com
mencing with the year 1876 with a payment
of the principal of the bonds of $5,000, and
increasing SI,OOO per year over the past
year until the entire new bonded debt is
extinguished. The following tabular state
ment running twenty-one years shows the
amount of the principal due each year:
Due. Amount Due. Amount.
1876 $ 5,000 1887 $16,000
1877 6,000 1888 17,000
1878 7,000 1889 18,000
1879 8,000 1890 19,000
1830 9,000 1891 20,000
1881 10,000 1892 21,000
1882 11,000 1893 22,< 00
1883 12,000 1894 23,000
1884 13,000 t 1893 24,000
1885 14,000 | 1896 25,000
1886 15,000 I
The above twenty-one payments foot up
$315,000, of principal—which is a close ap
proximation to the debt as scaled at 70
cents on the par value of the present bond
ed indebtedness, with past due interes
added.
Fourth—The old bonds, now in hands of
bondholders, t > be deposited in the hands
of a Trustee or Trusteeslto be agreed upon,
and hel i as collateral security for the pay
ment of the new bonds, principal and in
terest.
Fifth—Should the City of Romo fail for
six months to pay its coupons on the new
bonds after maturity, the old bonus shall,
on demand, and the surrender of the new
bonds, and after all amounts that have
been paid on the newbonds shall have been
credited on the old bonus, be returned to
the bondholders, who shall be remitted to
ail their original rights without prejudice
in any manner on aeou t of the offer of
compromise.
Sixth—lt having been repr. sented to
your committee that the $107,500 of water
works bonds can be settled by transferring
to the holders of the said water works
bonds all the rights and privileges if the
city in and to said water works property,
therefore your committee are of the opin
ion that if satisfactory terms can be agreed
upo i between said bondholders and the
city, a transfer of the property should be
made and the bonds taken up ana cancelled;
and to c utv out this idea we recommend
that a committee of the City Council he ap
pointed to open negotiatio s on the above
basis at once.
Seventh—Having made as close and care
ful an examination of the matters sub
mitted to your committee as possible—par
ticularly with reference to the cost of the
bonds to the bondholder—we are fully im
pressed with the belief that 70 cents on the
dollar is near the average cost of the same,
and altogether a more correct and equita
ble meth >d of adju-ting a settlement.
Considering the ability of our city to pay,
we are satisfied that it is as much as we
ought to promise. There is no use in
making promises to pay if we do not, pry,
and we c innot do so if we promise more.
With these facts before us, if we undertake
and promise on these taxes to pay a com
promised debt that we cannot pay,’we prac
tise a fraud upon our creditors and do our
selves a great injury.
Former Councils have endeavored faith
fully to pay the interest on our bonds and
failed. Our creditors are men who make
these investments for the sake of interest,
and the value of bonds is determined by
the fact of interest, coupons being paid
when due, and keeping the corporation
finances in such a condition as to be able to
pay the bonds at maturity.

We approve the above report of the com
mittee except their recommendation to dis
pose of the Water Works.
John W. Noble, J. W. Meakin, Alderman.
At the completion of the reading of
this proposition, Mr. Bones said he
wanted to add one word. The com
mittee did not Tor a moment insist that
the bondholders ought to accept the
compromise, but they earnestly hoped
they would be able to do so, for unless so
and this proposition was accepted, they
gravely feared there would be great
difficulty in uniting the Council and
citizens of Rome upon another basis of
settlement.
Mr. Wright, of Augusta, inquired, if
the bondholders should accept the
proposition, how could the fractions be
adjusted ?
Several answered that bonds of
§I,OOO and §SOO denominations only
were issued.
Mr. Ayer, of Rome, replied that it
was proposed to issue §SO bonds to
cover the difficulty. Tbe water works
bonds would be first maturing in 1881,
but a separate proposition would be
made as to these.
Mr. John J. Cohen, of Augusta, in
quired if the sole transfer of the water
works wouldn’t impair the valuation of
the other bonds, being the selling of
the only available property ?
Judge H. D. D. Twiggs, of Augusta,
said the difference in tbe propositions
of the bondholders and of the citizens
was the payment in bonds of only 70
cents on par valne by the latter—a less
offer than the one previously made.
Resides, there were some minor differ
ences as to funding and other details.
Mr. Ayer replied that the new plan
proposed to pay one-third cash in No
vember, while the original proposition
was to fund. The amount paid would
be the average paid for the bonds,
which were bought at 66, 68 and 70
cents on the dollar.
Mr. Cohen said he had paid 72t£ eents
for SIO,OOO of the bends.
Mr. W. E. Jackson, of Augusta, said
there would be no fractions in the plan.
The bonds he represented had cost 68
cents. To give bonds for bonds upon
the basis of actual cost would bring
about inextricable confusion.
Mr. Ayer agreed with Mr. Jackson,
and said the whole annual interest on
the bonded debt at 7 per cent, would be
$28,000, and explained the assessed
valuation for taxation of the real estate
and personal property of Rome.
Mr. Jackson remarked that at the
rate of of lj- 2 or 2 per cent, tax, Rome
could buy up her bonds in time. Why,
then, should she commit suicide by
compromising ?
Mr. Ayer said that he was Mayor of
Rome last year, and a tax of 2% per
cent. on the assessed value of property
in the city had been levied aud failed
by $14,000 to realize the money needed.
A floating debt had absorbed much of
it. It was impossible to collect taxes by
levies on the properties of small own
ers, for there was no sale and no
market for the property. Owing to
the changes since 1874, the failure in
the iron interests and general shrink
age in values, what was realized even
last year could not be collected tftiis ;
and the liabilities could only be met by
ruining the town completely.
Mr. Jackson remarked that he then
considered Rome ruined.
Mr. Ayer said no ; it was only pro
posed to adopt measures for the fail
adjustment of her indebtness.
Mr. Jackson said, not asserting that
he was opposed to the compromise,
that there was one serious objection to
it. and this was that the thing would
become contagious, aud other cities
would be doing the same way. The
bonds would not bo worth any more
after the compromise than now. There
was no necessity for new bonds, a3 the
old bonds had already been pronounced
good and biuding by the highest ju
dicial authority of Georgia.
Judge Twiggs remarked that ho
honestly believed the proposed 70 cent
bonds placed on the market would not
And higher quotation than 35 cer.ts.
Mr. Ayer suggested that the law of
the Legislature didn’t allow any other
debt to be contracted by the City Coun
cil of Rome till this bonded indebted
ness should be liquidate J.
Judge Twiggs asked what would re
sult if some bondholders accepted and
others declined the offered compro
mise ?
Mr. Geo. W. Bowen, of Rome, replied
that those not accepting would be re
mitted to their legal rights. A tax
would at once be levied to pay those
accepting, but no such provision for
the others.
Major Jos. Canahl, of Augusta, said
that the Rome bond act of the Legis
lature, which assayed to limit taxation
in Rome to one per cent., was uncon
stitutional and worthless. These lia
bilities were good forever, and bound
to be paid. A court of equity, inde
pendent of any distinct legal provision,
would hold such an enactment void.
Another provision in the same act was
that Rome should not contract any
other debt. If these become conditions
of the agreement, they would be bind
ing upon all parties to the contract.
He was in favor of accepting the com
promise, if it was proposed in good
faith and the money promised would
be paid. He had seen uo previous dis
position on the part of the people of
Rome to shoulder this indebtedness;
but the presence of Mr. Bones and such
gentlemen as accompanied him was
unimpeachable evidence of good faith
and earnest purpose in the matter. He
desired that the provision that Rome
should not contract any other debt un
til this be discharged should form part
of the agreement, and with this amend
ment moved that the proposed com
promise be accepted.
Mr. Jackson seconded Major Ga
nahl’s proposition.
Major J. A. A. West, of Augusta,
agreed with Major Canahl. If the
bonds be reduced to 70 cents, Romo
could barely pay the interest at 1 % per
cent.
Mr. Jackson and Mr. Wright said
nobody Avould accept tbe proposition
to transfer tbe Water Works for the
bonds.
Mr. Ayer said the objections to this
transfer would be avoided in the de
tails of the proposition for its accom
plishment, which was to be separately
submitted, and would prove more lib
eral than expected.
Major West said he regarded the
debt of Rome at over §400,000 as it is.
the water works bonds would not be
exchanged for that property. He op
posed this compromise when there was
not even ability to pay accruing inter
est on the bonds. He preferred, as a
distinct proposition, to take 5 per cent,
on the bonds each year, which would
amount to the annual payment of
about §20,000. He didn’t believe Rome
was going to pay, and the bondholders
had better make some compromise.—
He moved as a substitute to Major
Ganahl’s proposition that a committee
of three bondholders be appointed to
provide for a big compromise. He
wanted the people of Rome to under
stand that the act limiting the power
of taxation to 1 per cent, was a nullity.
There was no second to Major West’s
substitute.
Mr. Langdon suggested that it would
also be well to embody in the accep
tance of the compromise a proviso that
Rome should levy a tax above one per
cent, sufficient to pay up according to
the terms of the contract, discharging
accruing interest and creating a sink
ing fund.
Major Ganahl reduced his proposi
tion to writing as follows:
COMPROMISE ACCEPTED.
Resolved, That the proposition made by
the committee from the City of Rome be
accepted by the holders of the Rome bonds
with these qualifications: First—That the
city of Rome bind itself from issuing any
other b ends or securities, or incurring any
other liability beyond the necessary ex
penses of administering the affairs of the
city, until the present indebtment be paid
off; Second—That the said city shall levy
in good faith sufficient annual “ tax to car
ry out the compromise herein agreed to
There ensued a running discussion,
participated in by several, upon the
question whether this was accepting
the compromise under the act of the
Legislature, or whether it would not
be better distinctly to say the compro
mise proceeded nnder that act.
No positive resolution was determin
ed upon these points, and Maj. Ganahl’s
proposition was voted on and adopted.
Mr. Cohen moved that a committee
of four, of whom the chairman should
be one, be appointed to act in concert
with a similar committee to be ap
pointed by Rome, when the plan of
compromise shall have been ratified by
that corporation, to perfect the details
of the compromise in carrying it into
practical operation.
The motion prevailed, and the com
mittee was announerd to be Messrs.
W. F. Herring, John J. Cohen, Joseph
Ganahl and H. D. D. Twiggs.
The committee from Rome said they
would bear back the tidings of the
success of their mission to their fel
low-citizens and did not doubt the plan
agreed to would be accepted, although
it would be met by the opposition of
those in their city who were unwilling
to pay anything on the debt.
On motion the meeting adjourned at
about 2:30 o’clock p. m.
FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT.

a meeting of the committee of four ap
pointed by the bondholders was held
at Messrs. John J. Cohen & Sons’bank

Gas—Economy—Rents.
Mr. Editor : I notice that the Gas
Company has made a compromise with
the citizens of Petersburg, Va., by re
ducing the price of gas to two dollars
aud fifty cents per thousand cubic feet.
Why not our Gas Company in Augusta
do the same thing ? They can afford to
do it as well as any other company.—
“ Economy is the watchword.” I notice
that the ladies of Savannah have held
a meeting and resolved after the first
of July to wear nothing for dresses
to cost over twenty-five cents per yard,
the object of which is to enable their
husbands to meet their liabilities
promptly.
Upon the important matter of rents
on Broad street, let me ask : Why not
merchants on Broad street call a meet
ing and resolve to pay only one-half
rents they are now paying, which the
landlords can well accept and live well;
and if this proposition is not accepted,
I would suggest the propriety of build
ing stores on cross streets and moving
into them by the first of October.

Why Is It?—That cheap, adultera
ed baking powders and flavoring ex
tracts are warranted equal to Dr.
Price’s, when it is known that Dr.
Price’s Cream Baking Powder aud True
Flavoring Extracts are the purest and
healthiest mode? It is because the
adulterated kinds are bought less and
give a better profit. Good goods have
a valuation aud afford a less profit to
the seller as well as the manufacturer.
Unprincipled dealers, like unprincipled
manufacturers, will palm off adulter
ated articles upon the community to
engender disease, because it puts a few
more dollars into the pocket. This is
the reason, and consumers should
kuow it, and demand those articles
which are used in food that are made
by manufacturers who defy competi
tion iu price, and make the quality of
their goods the primary consideration.

It is said to be a fact that some very
learned gentlemen, well known in the
literary and scientific world, made a
visit last year to Cape Cod to gain the
opinion of an old sea captain there
about some peculiarity of the tides on
its coasts. He had studied the subject
all his life, and was considered an
oracle. They found him peacefully
smoking at tiie door of his cottage, and
stated their errand. “Well, gentlemen,”
said he, “ 1 have thought a deal on this
curious pint, and I’ve come to the con
clusion that it’s the moon, and one
darned tiling or another.”— Scribner
fur July.
“Can't help it. sir,” said a Boston
hotel clerk to a Massachusetts Senator
who came iu about midnight to get a
room. “Can’t help it, sir, if you’re the
Vice President himself. Why, we’ve
got ten Governors of States sleeping
on dining-room tables, thirty-odd Ma
jors lying around on the parlor floors,
and a hundred country editors snor
ing like bulls of Bashan on the back
stairs.”
