The writer. referring to past experience
Of the town of GunEison in dealing with
bond buyers who failed to meet their
agreements, laid stress on the respon-

clusively and bought them with it's own
money. So that the company did not
have to wait until il could hawk them
around before il paid for bonds.

statement to the board. He said that
the water had been allowed to run in the
ditch longer than usual this fall because

President Hollingshead, the mayor said,
desired to use the pasture as long as
