hereby authorized and directed to make
an official call for the presentation and
| payment of registered warrants issued
since Jan. 4, 1896, Except warrants is

ness of 1894 and 1885, and such warrants
as have been repudiated for fraud),

ficiency by issuing bonds, believing
that the taxpayers at the present time.

warrants with bonds than stand a
special tax levy to pay off the indebt-
edness this year.

LIQUOR DEALERS PETITION.
Attorney J. M. Hamilton appeared
in behalf of the liquor dealers of Bing-
ham with petitions asking the board to
reconsider its action in raising tine sa
loon license in the county TO $500 per
year. Mr.. Hamilton thought the board
was cutting off its nose to spite it's face
for he was informed that both Bing
ham and Murray would incorporate if
the license is not reduced. This would
result in a loss to the county of some
thing like $4,000 per year.
The board, however, did not see fit TO
take any action on the license matter.
and after hearing Mr.. Hamilton, filed
his petitions.
