at its session yesterday received thret
propositions for The purchase Of por'
tons of the county bond issue. One
of he bids was from the Wells Fargo
bank for $4,000 worth. The other twc
proposals were not gwen out, but it is
understood they as well are from locai
parties, one of them offering to take
$1,000 on the same conditions as the re-
cent sale to Mccormick and kenyon
the exchange of $1,000 worth of war
rants with accrued interest for q
county bond.
FROM WELLS, FARGO & co.
The proposition from the Wells
Fargo people was as follows:
A. S. Geddes, Chairman Board OF
County Commissioners:
Dear Sfr:-I hereby apply for the
purchase of about 40 $1,000 Salt Lake
county bonds, under the conditions OF
your contract with Mccormick and
Kenyon, namely: That any person de-
string to exchange county warrants is
sued prior to the 4th day of January,
1896, to the amount of $1,000, can do
so on application to the board OF
county commissioners and receive in
exchange therefor Salt Lake county
bonds.
Yours very truly,
j. E. DOOLY. Cashier
The matter was referred to the
county commissioners and the details
will probably be arranged during the
week.
THE OTHERS WITHHELD.
The other two propositions came in
during the course of the session. When
the reporter called for them Deputy
Clerk Reese said they were not to be
given to the press. Chairman Geddes
injected the explanation:
For certain reasons we don't want
anything said about this matter as it
might interfere with the successful
contamination OF the SALE
Commissioner Roberts said that he
presumed the documents were of a
public nature and the press should
have access TO them. But the news
paper men did not insist, preferring to
gain information from other sources if
desired.
