Cove County's Good Example.

Cove county has set an example in
finaciering that other counties in
Kansas might follow with profit. Its
total bonded Indebtedness, including
county, township, city and school dis
trict, aggregates only 5000. This
amount was issued by one township
for cemetery purposes. When Cove
wants to make an improvement it
makes tax levy to cover the cost in
stead of issuing bonds to run long
period of years, drawing a big rate
of interest.
