COUNTY FUNDS TIED UP
IN BANK OF NAMPA
There are $268o.64 in the Institution
Liability of Rondsmen Questioned.

There are $26So.64 in the Institution
Liability of Bondsmen Questioned.
Canyon county has $26So.64 in the
Bank of Nampa. The county was CIV
en- bonds to secure county money but
there is question of the liability of
the bondsmen. The two bondsmen
are J. A. Givens and c. E. Lore.
These men were accepted as bonds
men by the county commissioners as
sureties for 5000 when the total prop
erty in the county assessed to these
two men did not exceed $485O The
county commissioners are required
by law to see that men offered as
bondsmen are worth the amount of
the bonds. The commissioners failed
to do this through ignorance, indif-
ference or carelessness.
]. A. Owens is assessed with lots
2 and block 81, Nampa, valued at
$3.50. This lot was sold to the coun-
ty in 1912 for taxes. He also has as
sessed to him lot block II, which
together with Improvements, is as
sessed at $1,000. On September %
this lot was mortgaged for 5000 to
Raymond L. Givens, leaving very lit
tie for the county to realize on this
lot.
c. E. Lore is assessed with lot 80,
block IS, Nampa, with improvements
assessed at $3.50; with 40 acres OF
land assessed at $500; and with II
acres of land assessed at $3.50. How
ever Lore's 40 acres is already mort
gagged for $500 leaving Mr.. Lore's
property $500 in the clear. The con-
dition of the bondsmen leaves very
small margin on which the county can
realize.

There will be mass meeting of the
stockholders, premium winners and
others interested in the Canyon coun-
ty fair at the Commercial club rooms
in this city Saturday. Every one is
urged to attend this meeting at that
time and effort will be made to save
the fair, settle up its premiums and
get in readiness for another fair.
The directors of the association
asked the county commissioners to
give the association the additional
$1,000 which would make the county
appropriation the same as in other
years. The commissioners refused to
DO SO. It is now proposed to circu-
late petitions among the taxpayers
asking the commissioners to appro-
pirate the sum. If the county will
make this additional appropriation the
county fair can be saved.
On page eight of this issue of The
Tribune will be found the financial
statement of the association. 1t shows
that the floating indebtedness at the
present time is $780, A number of
the big premium winners have stated
| that they will not only take out the
amount of their premiums in stock but

vided the fair is continued.
There is no question but that the
county fair can be kept alive if the
county will make its regular appro-
priation for the purpose.
