Up TO 5 PER CENT

Lower Rate. .,

The county court Tuesday failed to
get satisfactory bids on the Az cent
market house se-audtoriunA bonds and
was forced to take a recess to allow
other bids TO be made on basis OF
s per cent bonds
The market house committee, It was
explained by the county attorney, r..
l., Bartels, met at noon Tuesday and
received several bids, but none was
satisfactory, as they were not for par
and accrued interest and none offered
a premium The bond men stated the
reason for tho low bids was because
OF the fact the bonds were an per

The bidders, through Mr.. Bartels,
asked that the resolution In regard to
the sale OF the bonds be amended 40
as to make the bonds per cent and
then recess the court until they could
make new bids based on that figure,
The court voted the amendment Mr..
Bartels said some on the per cent
basis were attractive.
An effort was made by several mem
bers to have the matter deferred to

want to have 1t made so that we can
send ships through the Panama canal

to ask that the shipping board release
ships for private charter and purchase
so that we may secure adequate bot
