COUNTY ROND ISSUE At
GENERAL ELECTION

A thing which has been given
very little publicity and there
fore not kpown to many voters
is the fact that Pine county vo-
ters will he calico upon to vote
on a $4,000 bond issue at the
General Election next Tuesday.
The money is to be used for the
erection of a new house on the
county poor farm near Hinckley,
same being under construction
now
The county commissioners
would of course not have built
mst now but for the reason that
they were compelled to do so by
state authorities. The contract
was let some time ago and the
building is well under way and
will have to be paid for whether
or not the bond issue carries. II
the bond issue carries which it
doubtless will, there will be ten
years in which to pay, but should
it not carry the $50 900 will all
have to be paid out Of county
taxes in ona year and will there
fore be a bigger burden. The
taxpayers will undoubtedly
choose the easiest way in which
to paw the ten year plan and
bond issue.
Simple majority Of the votes
cast on that question carries.
