AS to these coupons, the question has been
raised as to whether the statute of limitations could
not be raised as a bar to those coupons that are now
more than six years past due, although the bond to
which they we're attached is not itself yet due.
| would therefore submit to you the whole mat
ter for your advice on the same.

APPLETON, Wis, Dec. 3. 1888.
Mr.. L.. Il. arnold, Mayshfed, Wisconsin,:
DEAR SIR:-I have for collection, and was about
to ommence suit for the same, the following bonds:
Number %, for $1,000, dated the first day of January,
1875, and running for IS years, all coupons attached
except those prior to July. 1875; number 30, dated
the first day OF January, 1873, and running for IS
years, all coupons attached except those prior to
July, 1875; also number 81, dated the first day of
January, 1873, and running for Is years, all oupons
attached except those prior to July, 1875; also num-
Der 50, dated ian. I, 1873 running Is years, all cou-
pons attached except those prior to July, 1875; num-
Der 81, dated Jan. l, 1873, and running for 10 years,
all coupons attached except those prior to July,
1875; number 81, dated the first day of January, 1873,
running tor 20 years, all coupons attached except
those prior to July, 1875. l do not want to com
mence suit on this, if | can arrange with the county,
some way, to take them up, and | understood that the
county board will soon have a meeting, that is, |
would infer from your letter, and you thought would
50 arrange as to pay these bonds. The attorneys
hold, some of them, at least, and good ones, that the
coupons have not been outlawed, those not detached
from the bonds. Now, however that may be, | am
not SuTlClent OF a lawyer TO determine; but L would
prefer not to have any litigation, if | can adjust this
thing equitably and fairly. Will you please give
me your views on the subject. Yours truly,
A. L. SMITH.
Motion made by Supervisor T.. E. Nash and sec
onded that all matters relating to bonds and cou-
pons be referred to the finance committee-Motion
carried.
