THE above figures show that the limit

way to go before reaching the limit, which

we quote a portion of the Nebraska

THE above statement speaks for itself
and further explanation is unnecessary.
We admit that the present system could
be modified to our advantage but rules
laid down by the last legislature have
tied our hands to such an extent that
bonds offered for sale now find very few
prospective buyers, for the following rea-
sons:
First, fiscal agency having been trans
ferred from New York TO Lincoln, Neb.
Bond houses which have heretofore
bid and purchased our loans lat a pre-
mtum) now state that the fact of the
principal and interest being payable at a
place which would entail loss of three
days interest and exchange, makes It
hard for them TO find ready market
mo fund in existence for the redemp-
tion of the principal of general bonds
Another feature is that our bonds arc
nonregisterable.

closes the fact that about so per cent is
composed of renewals.

Because the last legislature passed

bid as they once did for Omaha bonds.

objects to the fiscal agency belns trans

Further, the city commissioner objects
to the late legislatures law giving the
county clerk of this county 10 cents for
each bond registered and 95 cents for each
bond certified
This law, passed TO pad the fees OF the
county clerk. has forced us to pay out
rs high as 500 in fees to the county clerk
in one BATCH said Butler. I'VE will ask
the legislature to repeal this law and to
also repeal the law making Lincoln the
fiscal agency of this city"
Commissioner Butler will also petition
the next legislature to pass a law exempt
ing from taxation Omaha bonds held in
this state. This, he says, is to encourage
investments in home city bonds
The commissioner will also ask that
that the result will show "a fair cash

he says there will be no advance at

will remain the same for the present,
altho shoes, harness, ETC., are bound to
