ROAD IMPROVEMENT BONDS. &

One OF our exchanges %adVOcaJ2ss
bonds for road improvement to run:
25 years.. Twenty years is the maxl-s
mum for which bonds may be issued.
Here is the law on the question: "The
bonds so issued shall bear interest
evidenced by coupons, at a rate not
exceeding six per cent per annum,
payable annually; such bonds may be
made payable in equal installments,
the first of which shall become due
and payable not less than five years
after the date thereof, and the last. of
which installments shall become due
and payable not more than twenty
years after the date thereof"
The above applies to bonds issued
by county. Bonds issued by a town
ship for road improvement must not
bear interest to exceed six per cent
per annum, and shall become due in
ten equal installments, the first of
which shall become due and payable
not more that IS months after date,
and annually thereafter.
1t requires 60 per cent of the vote
cast to carry township bonds, while
for county bonds bare majority is
all that is necessary.
County bonds cannot be issued fo1
a, greater amount than Is per cent OF
the assessed valuation of the real
property Of the county, including all
outstanding Indebtedness.

Country newspapers are unable to
buy 100000 paper mills to protect
themselves from extortion, says the
Hutchinson Leader, and this provokes
the following suggestion from the Red
Wing Daily Eagle: eyes, individually
they are unable to do so, but collec-
lively they could. The seven hundred
and odd country publishers in the state
could, if they set about it, buy or build
a 100000 paper mill just as easily as
any one concern like that of the Pho
neer Press" Not a half bad idea at
that.
