BIDDERS FOR COUNTY BONDS
Some Figuring Necessary to Decide
Which is the Best.
STATE MAKES AN OFFER OF PAR
others oHer Premium. but Conditions
80 20 Issue n In. t1rh
Instance-Award 90 lie
Made Today.

Five bids for the entire issue and two
bids for a part NJ the issue Of the si,OOo,OOO
OF 4 per cent court house bonds were
opened by the Board OF County Commits
sfoners last night and referred to the COM
rnittee Of the whole for tabulation, the
awarding Of the bids to be made at 10
o'clock this morning. Bids on the issue
were opened about six weeks ago. but the
two received at that time were held until
last night. when some more were received.
The complicated form OF contract in
volving the deferred time OF issuing the
bonds and the taking up Of them and the
interest involved, whether belonging to the
county or 10 the purchaser. made It ad-
visable to deter the awarding on the bonds
until the various bids could be gone into
carefully. The five bids for the whole
issue are as follows:
state of Nebraska, par.
F.. II. Rollins a. Son, Chicago premium
n. W. Halsey. Chicago, premium Of $500.
Mcdonald. Mccoy & Co, Chicago, par
IT j. BolSser: Fsrson. Son & Co, and
American Trust & Savings bank, Chicago,
premium of $500. ssgess
chance for some Figuring.
on the face Of the bid It would appear
that the Rollins offer was the best. but
this may not prove to be the case on
account OF che 4stase or the bid. While
the Rollins firm bid q premium OF $z.171,
all the bonds must be issued at once, and
the bid being "flatH tho company would
get the benefit of, the accrued interest.
on the other hand, Bolger and associ-
ated firms and Halsey, while offering
lower premiums, leave It optional with the
county as TO whether all the bonds shall
be issued at once or at future dates. AS
all the money wilI not be needed for two
OF three years. the county could save
money by issuing bonds from time to time
as needed. clipping its own coupons and
saving the interest, which would otherwise
80 to the purchaser.
The bid OF the state OF Nebraska at par
gives the county the privilege of Issuing
the bonds when 1t chooses. ~
The Mcdonald bid is acpar proposal, but
this firm wishes to deduct the fees of its
attorney for looking up the status Of the
county and the legality of the bonds. This
proposal is therefore the poorest OF the
lot.
The partial bids we're made by the Wood
men Of the World of Omaha and by N. w,
Hasley & Co. of Chicago. The Woodmen
o fthe World bid par on an issue of 100000,
delivery to be made March. 1, 1909. The
Hasley bid Is for$ $500, 600. present or future
delivery. at a premium of $500.
Harry Mott, an Omaha broker, presented
the bid of f.. II. Rollins & Son of Chicago
and George w. Hoobler. also an Omaha
banker. presented the bid of N. w. Has
ley and Co. This firm was also represented
by r. p. Minton of Chicago. Edison S

fliated firms of 7. j. Bolger, Farson, Sol
