Paid.
| County Treasurer T. H Smith on
| Thursday, lowered the cash in the pub
lie eXchequer to the extent of about
$16,5OO. The bulk Of this went to pay
a lot of unredeemed outstanding bridge
fund orders. There were $16,19776 OF
these orders paid off. For some time
there has not been any money in the
bridge fund and the treasurer could not
pay the orders when they were pre-
| sented. In such cases the holders OF
the orders have been demanding inter-
est at the rate Of per cent and the
county has been allowed it,
| Since the tax collection the
county treasury has been full of money.
The apportionment has not yet been
made but the treasurer has figured il
out that there will be agood round sum
come into the bridge fund and he de-
cided to advance the cash and save the
county from a lot of interest that is
| accruing daily.
On the orders that the treasurer paid
Thursday the saving to the county will
be just about SO a day. There are q
lot more orders out drawing interest
and the treasurer has sent word for
them to be brought in for payment.
They are largely held by the banks and
they don't like to have them paid for
at six per cent interest they beat
government bonds clear out of sight as
good investment. But the treasurer
does not propose for the county to be
paying interest needlessly and If the
orders that are sent for do not come
the interest will be stopped. The old
orders paid were as follows:
