The convention Of county commissioners
lately held ut Bismarck asked the legislature

stead Of the school fund as now. The reason
for this is that the general fund is limited to
l per cent. or perhaps less Of the assessment,
and in many counties does not furnish SUI
fcient means to run the county, cOnse-
| quently floating debts are incurred, and the
county paper is at discount of from 10 TO
/ 30 per cent. and the cost of labor reformed
| Is increased in the same way. In Ctss county
| this is notably the case, aud the salaries of
county officers were raised several hundred
dollars In most instances to cover the dis
count. The law seems to DC needed as there
/ Is no restriction on the school fund.
