To the old residents Of Lin
coin County the facts following
will be no news but to those of
our worthy residents who have
more recently located in this
county a brief statement Is to
how this indebtedness was in
CURED will be a matter of no
small degree Of interest.
When Logan County and FL
more County were by act of the
Legislature created out Of terri
tory Of Alturas County the total
Indebtedness of Alturas County
had reached the enormous sum
Of $567,3Io.74 and was bonded
for a large portion of that sum,
the balance being its floating
debt.
OF course a rateable portion of
that Indebtedness must attach to
Gilmore and Logan Counties and
these portions was to be deter
mined by the assessment OF tax
able property i'll the two newly
made counties. But before Logan
County had settled her part of
that old debt to Alturas County
the legislature, by its act, des-
troyed the identity of both Al
turas and Logan County and
created Blaine County and Lin
coin County on different lines
than those bounding Alturas
County and Logan County and
by that act provided how the
portion Of the old i'll
Of Alturas County
should become a charge against
Blaine County and how the rate
able portion Of Lincoln County
should be determined and how
Lincoln County should pay
Blaine its portion of said old
iebt.
The officials of the two coun-
ties disagreed as to the amount
Lincoln County owed Blaine
County of that old debt and the
controversy went into court by
Blaine County bringing suit
against Lincoln County i'll the
Ada County District Court. That
court decided the case, which was
lot satisfactory to Blaine County
md they appealed to the Supreme {
Court which court found the sum !
Tue to Blaine County from Lin ,
.oln County to be the amount as |
S seen i'll the Judgment of the {
curt above reprinted. t
This Judgment left no alter |
Iative for Lincoln County but to f
meet it as the law directs by is v
uing our warrants payable to il
blaine County for the sum of s
23S, 446.27 to draw seven per tt
ent. interest from date of the Il
reation of the County of Lin c.
