and the following order substituted
therefor:
In pursuance of the provisions o
Chapter VI, Title XIII of the Re
vised States of Idaho, as amende,
at the Third session of the Legis
lature of the State of Idaho, ap
proved March 8, 1895, the boar
of county commissioners of Idah
county, state of Idaho, made al
examination into the financial con
dition of the county aforesaid, an,
after examining the records an
files of the board and the report
of the auditor and treasurer of tn
county, heretofore filed, find tina
there is an outstanding indebted
ness as shown by warrants issue
prior to the second Monday G
April, A. d. 1895, including inter
est to October |, A. ID. 1895, an
after deducting therefrom none
in the treasury applicable to tn
payment of such Indebtedness, {
S74 10000, as near as can be est
mated, which warrants the boar
finds are valid and legal obligs

above named amount being the t.
tai Indebtedness of said county.
The board further finds that sal
warrants are drawing interest {
the rate of seven CD per cent. p,
annum, which the board believ,
could be funded by the issue ,
bonds bearing interest not to e.

They also find that said wa
rants are not at par, thus deprec
ating the credit of the county, an
causing those who furnish mate
ials or perform services for IL
county to charge therefor so as
allow for the discount on said wa
rants, thus greatly increasing Il
expenses of the county; and flu
Their that the Legislature of Il
state of Idaho, at the third sessit

the provisions of which whenev
