The decision of the supreme court of
Montana Territory in the Choteau-C Cas-
cade case is that in the event bonds shall
be issued, it will require the commits
sioners to issue and sell six per cent
bonds if necessary in order to sell at par.
The decision denies the giving of Cho-
teau county $1,382.s5 as county attorney
fees and requires the county of Choteau
to pay the costs Of the appeal. The de
cision is signed by N. ]. Mcconnell,
Chief Justice, S. DeWolfe and M. j.
Lidell, judges. It will be seen by the
above decision that our friend Searles of
The River Press, has not quite so much to
brag about as he might anticipate. We
have the decision before us as we write.
We believe there never was a time that
the county commissioners of Cascade
county desired to get out of paying this
obligation of $4,000. 1t was simply all
of the law and question
rs to the way of paying the debt. In this
the advice of three of the
ablest attorneys of Helena, in addition to
that of the county attorney, George w.
Taylor was given. 1t will be observed
from careful reading of the decision
that Mr.. Taylor's views were correct.
Not little is due to his energy and abil-
ity that Cascade county received the
favorable decision. We believe the bonds
have been sold for the payment of this
debt, and the mouey if not now will soon
be in the hands of the Choteau county
treasurer.
