STERNE FINDS A WAY.
Will Save the County $4,000
on Bridge Bonds.

County Commissioner Sterne has sug
gested to the board of county commits
sioners that the board save Shawnee
county $780, 900. The board decided to
follow Mr.. Sterne's suggestions and save
the money
Mr.. Sterne's plan is to buy from the
state school fund commissioners $50, 600
worth of the Melan bridge bonds held
by that fund. The bonds expire in 1916
and bear 5 per cent interest. The in
terest on the $50, 600 each year is s., 500
and for the II years, until 1916 would
be $50, 900.
Mr.. Sterne proposes to combine the
money in the sinking funds for the
K. N. & D., c. K. & N, Melan bridge,
court house and other bond issues and
thereby have $4,000 available. The
school fund commission allows the
bonds held to be bought for their face
value without a premium at any time
of the payment of interest. To buy
bonds of other issues before their date
of maturity the board has to pay a
premium to compensate the holders of
the bonds for relinquishing the interest
that would be paid if the bonds were
not turned over to the county before
the date of maturity.
The school fund holds the entire
Melan bridge bond issue of $150.000. AS
fast as the commissioners have funds
with which to take up bonds the Melan
bridge bonds will be taken up as there
will be a saving on each $1,000 bond
for each year before maturity of $50.

carry the ditch to completion. Beyond
that, we have the cost Of war opera
lions by sea and land, and present
conditions on the isthmus' admonish
us that we must by no means leave
that item out of account. Altogether
we may find ourselves "in for an ex-
penditure of $400.000,000. which is the
amount the Frenchmen have already
sunk in this ill-starred undertaking.
With a treasury deficit impending in the
next fiscal year, as pointed out by Secre-
tary Shaw; with financial conditions con-
fronting which may seriously narrow
the market for 2 per cent canal bonds;
with customs duties so high that they
exclude imports and thus diminish the
government income; with internal revenue
laws from the operation of which we have
recently excepted articles bringing in =
revenue of 100000 annually, and with
our yearly expenditure increased in nearly
every department of the government 1t Is
perhaps not a favorable time for entering
upon the construction of this canal under
present conditions on the isthmus." If
the treaty is ratified President Roosevelt
will instantly commit us to all these costs
and risks.-New York Times.
