 There appears to be conflicting opinions Tn regard to the effect the bridge apportionment of last year and prospective appropriations should have upon the market vaiue of county war rants. Some argue that these appro- priations, increasing the county's li- abilities. will tend to deprsciate the value Of scrip, while others insist that the county's present small indebted. ness, and the absorption of large | amount of scrip at each recurring tax gathering, will offset the appropriations l and prevent the depreciation of war rants. This Is the more reasonable l view. The ruling price at present is from so ts s5 cents.
