RnIron or MoRnra TnInuNE:

EDIToR OF MoRRIs TRIBUNE:
DEAR Sm:-In the issue Of your paper of
May Goth. 1890, in article headed Sale of
School Lands" there are some errors which
this article aims TO correct They are so
glaring that it seems necessary to extin'
guish them, lest they tend to tictitiously in
fate all real estate in Stevens county.
The errors are in this sentence: "Unim.
proved land, five miles from the railroad,
is worth in cash, $2975 per acre, one Sec
ton averaging $l2, 100000" Error No. i:
The EIGHTY" that sold for SEQ, 75 per acre,
has only about five acres of "unimproved"
land in it; the other seventy.five acres be-
ing all in q fine state of cultivation. Error
No. 9; The said EIGHTY" is three miles
from Morris, and less than half mile, in.
stead of 'five miles" from the railroad.
Error No. 3: "In cash" In all sales of
school lands ON the prairie, only fifteen per
cent. of the price is required in cash, the
balance having thirty years to run, II de-
sired, at seven per cent The purchaser of
the eighty in question, paid no moro of the
purchase price than the fifteen per cent.
and the required interest for one year, in
cash. Error No 4: Zone section averag.
ing $l2, 100000" just what that means
"no fellow knows" but it is an error any
how, for, if the average price per acre is
meant to be stated as $1,000, the average
of the section in question, per acre, was u
few cents under Sl40o; and, if "$l2, 900. CO.,
is meant as the total price of the section,
the true amount should be $4,000.
The result of the sale is good enough for
Stevens county, any way, and she can af-
ford to let true statement of the case
stand upon its merits. JOHN.

but lack of funds has prevented their
procuring the necessary outfit. Now,
however, the risk being so great, the
authorities have decided to take imme.
date action, and the question is to be
submitted to the people, for their ap-
prevail, at special election to be held
in this village, on Thursday next, June
10th.
1t is not necessary to say very much
on the subject, and it would be super
fluous to add that we heartily endorse
the proposed measure, as the columns
of this paper, during the past two
years, have contained many articles on
this subject. The question now before
us is, to issue bonds to the amount Of
SO, 900, to procure an efficient fire APP
paratus-engines. ciSterns, etc.-for
the protection of life and property in
this village, and we hope it will meet
with unanimous approval.
Our utterly defenceless condition and
the constant danger to which we are
exposed, are apparent to everybody.
and is taken advantage of by insurance
companies to raise their rates to such
exhorbitant figures, that it costs the
property owners each year a sum equal
to nearly double the entire amount of
the bonds, to cover a small portion of
their property by insurance policies.
If the measures which it is proposed to
adopt are ratified by the people, we do
not hesitate to say that it will lower
the rates from the present Az to 21s,
or at the outside, 3 per cent, and the
saving win pay the cost the first year,
and allow the property owners to in
crease the amount of their policies,
thus affording them greater protection
from danger and securing them from
ruinous losses, in the event of fire.
The bonds are to run ten years, and
bear interest not to exceed 8 per cent.
The tax to pay the interest would, at
the present assessed valuation, be but
a trife-lesS than one mill. Can we
afford to issue bo.ds! is the question
that will be raised by some, and to
those who will take this view of the
measure, we would ask: Can we af-
ford the RISK! Let fire once get
started and under Roadway, and in our
present utterly defenceless condition.
the whole town would be swept away
and annihilated. A fire now means
ruin, and it would be suicidal to refuse
to adopt the measures which are pro.
posed.
