COUNTY INDEBTEDNESS.
Has the Limit Been Passed-The
Law in the Case.

Law in the Case.
The article in yesterdays Herald
concerning the financial status of Salt
Lake county and showing how that
county had exceeded its debt limit,
called attention anew to the financial
affairs of Weber county The question
of the validity OF certain county war
rants and other obligations of the
county is one that will not down. The
matter has been published at consider
able length in The Herald and will not
be gone over again in detail. That
more money was spent in 1896 than
the county had at its command, is
shown BIZ the fact that notes to the
amount of SAP, 500 are held against the
county. These matters, together with
at least $4,000 outstanding warrants,
are obligations of the county. The
cash in the treasury shown by the
clerks report as audited by the board
of county commissioners for the year
1896 shows the cash on hand as little
less than 0000. Whether there are
more floating obligations outstanding
than the $46,5 500 referred to is what the
new commissioners are trying to de-
termine before publishing the clerks
report AT any rate it looks as though
the limit has been exceeded at least
ST., 900. Against this view it is argued
that the statute governing the case
provided that the county should not
go in debt more than the taxes for the
current year. In other words, the
county can spend all the taxes and go
in debt for as much more as they
come to. Extracts from the law are:
mo debt in excess of the taxes for
the current year shall be created by
any county. unless the proposition
to create such debt shall have been
submitted to a vote of such qualified
electors as shall have paid a property
tax therein, in the year preceding such
election. and a majority of those vot-
ing thereon shall have voted in favor
of increasing such debt
Section 5 of the county government
act reads:
No county shall incur any indebted
ness or liability in any manner or for
any purpose exceeding in any one year
the taxes for the current. without the
assent of 2 two-thirds majority of such
qualified electors thereon" etc.
An Indebtedness or liability incurred
contrary to this provision shall be
void -
