Iowa County Bonds.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found a
call issued by the County Board of Super
visors, which is now in session, addressed
to the chairmen Of the various town boards
in the County, inviting the town boards
together with other influential business
men, to meet them at Dodgeville, on Tues
day, November 9th, for the purpose OF
consulting on the County Bonds.
The County Boards have fought these
Bonds for nearly ten years, suits nave
been carried to the highest Courts in the
United States, and they have decided that
the Bonds are valid and must be paid
Mandamuses and other legal papers have
been served on the Board, requiring them
to obey the demands of the Courts and
levy tax to pay these Bonds; these de-
mands have up to this time been disobey-
ed but the people can not expect to always
stave off these Bonds, and the time is rap
idly approaching when they MUST be paid.
Various plans have been proposed, some
of which are thought to be quiet practicable
by which these Bonds may be paid. The
object of this proposed gmeeting is there
fore to adopt the best plan whereby the
Indebtedness Of the County may be liqui-
dated, and by which the whole County
may be benefited, and the people suffer as
little as possible. This is matter in which
every tax payer is deeply interested, and
should not now be neglected.
AS the citizens OF Dodgeville will keep
open house during that and the following
day, the bills beiug paid by voluntary sub
scription, we hope to see every part of the
County fully and ably represented.
