The Board of County Commissioner
passed the following order yesterday at
their monthly meeting to wit:
THE County Treasurer is herewith
instructed not to draw, pay.-or use any
money out of the General County Fund
or any other apportioned fund in the
Treasury, or any funds hereafter coming
in the Treasury out of the Tax Levy OF
1875, into the Bonds Interest Fund,
but is authorized to negotiate Loan at
the rate of one half of one per cent for
the purpose of paying snid interest and
the County Treasurer is further in
structed not to pay any OF the interest
money now in the Treasury until he has
sufficient funds to pay all interest.
The above order will have the effect of
putting the present issue of County
scrip to very near par. BY paying the
interest on the bonds all the funds even
to the judges Salary Fund is absorbed
by this Interest Fund. The County
Commissioners deem this bonded debt,
illegal as far as paying interest on it is
concerned, as it makes preferred credit
ors out Of the bondholders which they
think is not right, besides affecting all
parties who are now supplying the
County, they having to sell the present
scrip at 40 cts on the dollar, in con-
sequence Of this interest being paid pre-
Vously.
