The commissioners have directed
tie county auditor to draw all war
rants "to orders hereafter instead of
payable to bearer. We have always
been OF the opinion that the war
rants should have always been written
that way, if for no other reason than

case 4 warrant should come up miss
ing, whether appropriated or stolen.
The commissioners have raised the
rate on school fund loans to 6 per cent,

es. The new deals comes under a re-
cent change in the state law, one sug-
gested and advocated by the GRAPHIC
several years ago.
