other purpose. Mr.. Harris holds,
however, that the paving certificates
do not count as part Of the bonded
debt.

The sentiment all over the
county seems to be heartily i'm
favor of the vote to authorize
the county com missioners to
levy a tax to aid the county
fair and it seems probable that
the proposition will carry by a
good vote. Under the state law
the commissioners can not levy
over a quarter of a mill and
they will levy only what is
needed by the association.
Even should they levy the
maximum amount it would be
so small that no one would
miss it. A quarter of a mill
would be twenty five cents on
one thousand dollars of assess
ed valuation or from fifteen to
twenty-five cents on a quarter
section of land.
