A few months ago the town of Neihart
voted to bond the town for $4,000, for the
purpose of grading streets. purchasing fire
apparatus. etc. The bonds were advertised,
foated and all but issued, as several bids
were received. when it was found to our
dismay that the statutes of Montana require
wi to have an assessed valuation OF
$500, 600 before being able to issue bonds.
The assessed valuation of Neihart ia be-
tween 5000. 600 and $500, 600; so il will con.
sequently require one or two years more
under the present law before We hope to
make our bonds legal.
