The Iowa City Republican believes
Keota is making great mistake by not
raising the fund necessary to bring the
Iowa City ttumwa interurban into
that city. aKeota," says the Republl-
can, seems bound to repeat the expert
ence of Iowa City at the time the B..
C. R. & NJ railway was constructed:
The road asked help of Iowa City and
Iowa City refused it. Pass us up II
you dare was Iowa City's response to
the appeals made. The road dared. and
Iowa City has been cursing the luck
ever since 1t was not until six or seven
years ago that Iowa City got out of the
rut into which it was cast by the de-
cision Of the B., G. R. & N. to go eight
miles east of here. Had the road gone
through Iowa City, this place would
now have population Of 10000 or
more. It is the memory of the B., G. R.

put up 100000 for interurbans during
the past year"

THE NEW COUNTY BOND ISSUE.

THE NEW COUNTY BOND ISSUE.
The wisdom of advertising for g.
new sale OF county bonds in place OF
the sale prevented by legal Injunction
was proved yesterday when the
county, after receiving a number OF
profitable bids, sold two issues OF
bonds, amounting to $66,000 at q
premium OF s3,504.60 to N. w. Halsey
& Co. of Chicago.
When the sale Of $4,000 in bonds
Courier objected to the transaction on
the grounds that the county was not
getting good bargain. The premium
on this bond Issue Of $4,000 was about
l per cent or $500. This same pre-
MUM on the $66, 900 bond issue negoti-
ated yesterday would have been but
$3.50, whereas the county, by advertis-
ing and securing number of bidders,
secured q premium Of $S,5046O, or
$2,S44.60 more than could have been
secured under the former bid.
In addition to this the first bond
issue was Of longer maturity and more
favorable to the investor. These
bonds were for twenty years and the
county was not given the privilege u
retiring them within that time. al
though they were issued to cash out
standing warrants, which could be re-
deemed at any time. The county was
thus obligating itself to carry these
warrants, or their equivalent, for
period of twenty years, paying inter-
est on them, when it might be pos
sible to retire these warrants at q
much earlier date.
The new bond issue is in two series,
the first for $4,000, maturing in from
six to eight years; and the second
for $4,000, maturing in from three to
thirteen years. Although much less
favorable to the bond companies,
greater premium is secured by the
county than on the longer term issue.
When the Courier called attention
to the improbable nature Of the
earlier bond issue. Injunction proceed
ings were Instituted by G. 0. Taylor,
w. r. Daum, s. H. Harper and Samuel
Mahon, through their attorney, M. q.
Gilmore, and the sale of the bonds was
enjoined. These citizens are entitled
to praise for their action. They were
acting as tax payers and in the inter-
est Of all the tax payers in preventing
Wapello county from getting the worst
OF the bargain in the bond transaction.
The favorable contract executed yes
terday by the county officials is proof
that their efforts were well directed
and successful.
