ty Commissioners negotiated two
loans in New York City, one for S5O,-
coo, payable six months from date at
rate of 81 per cent. and one for S75,-
600 for year from date at rate of A
per cent per annum. This will be a
wing to the county of several thous-
and dollars as all outstanding county
papers will be redeemed.
The County Certificates bear inter-
est at the rate of per cent per an
mum so it can be readily seen the saw
ings. This transaction does not in
crease the County's indebtedness one
cent. it simply pays off all indebted
ness of the county, at lower rate of
interest, leaving only the bonded in.
debtednes upon the county. The
County is in an excellent condition
financially.
One great feature of this transaction
is the fact that this amount of money

be used for commercial purposes.
