NEW YORK, April 19.-Moderate ac-

did not take this too seriously.

COUNTY WILL REDEEM
SIX PERCENT BONDS
Refnnding Issue Of 4 ID Per
Cent to be Made
DEAL NOW PENDING
WITH A CHICAGO FIRM

The fourth quarterly meeting
At the board of county conrtnis-
.Ioners was held beginning Mon
day morning anl continuing un-
MI ten O'clock Tuesday morning.
Dr. j. K. Gilbert. chairman,
presided. with Commissioners ] /.
i Sanders aud Dr.. T. \. Haxby,
and Clerk John VI. Bowman, IN
attendance.
A very important work was the
arrangement to redeem the issue
oi $50. 900 90 in six percent bonds.
The bonds in question were is.
sued aboJt ten years ago, and
are redeemable after ten years.
The proposition which is being
entered into was made by Coffin
and Crawford, bond dealers and
brokers, Of Chicago. Under this
proposition, the old issue. bear-
ing six percent interest, will be
replaced by a refundlng issue
which will bear only four and
one half percent interest. The
new issue will be twenty five
thousand dollars, less t h e
amount now in the sinking fund,
which is some six or seven thou
sand dollars. The saving OF one
anl one half percent interest Oh
twenty five thousand dollars will
mean a good deal to the tax pay
ers of Otero county.
Aside from the arrangement
To- reduce the interest on out
standing bonds, the most imp0r-
tant work transacted was the de-
cision to have the road between
TuIarosa and La Luz put into
good condition. Instructions were
given to the county surveyor to
make Il preliminary survey of
the road and an estimate of the
cost of making the necessary re-
pairs and improvement work
This work is to be done under
the direction of j. j. Sanders,
the TularCs sa commissioner. Mr..
Sanders recently made trip
over this road in company with
Hon. Vernon l.. Sullivan, terri
torlal engineer. The proposed
Improvement work will probably
cost between five and seven
thousand dollars.
Several road petitions were re.
ceiyed aud acted upon, the most
important one being the Pinion
|, road petition. A board of viewers
; was appointed to examine into
the proposed road and make re
port. The reports of justices ot
the peace were examined ant
approved. A large number o
bills was examined and pay
