COUNTY OUT OF DEBT

In this issue we have the call OF
County Treasurer, Ira Wade, calling
all warrants outstanding and unpaid.
This means that Lincoln County is
out of debt, for perhaps the first time
in its history. The next thing is to
keep 1t there. That the county paid
off its large debt so quickly, after the
six per cent Limitation went into ef
feet, is due to a large extent to the
able management and business abilit,
Of the County Court. A year ago We
had debt of about $4,000, while to
day we are on cash basis. This will
be great load off the taxpayers
shoulders.
