Pay County Bills Monthly
The board made an order on Mon
day afternoon that the county will
pay its bills monthly hereafter in
stead OF quarterly and all persons
furnishing goods and service to the
country are notified that they are
entitled to present their bills and get
their warrants monthly instead of
quarterly. The commissioners believe
that prompt payments and frequent
settlements will be mutual advant-
age to the county and the people it
deals with. They believe that persons
furnishing goods and service can af-
ford to make little better price for
PROMPT payment and since the county

that PEOPLE should make closer prices
to Offset the additional interest
charges which the county will pay.
But that is not the only reason the
county commissioners have for max
ing these monthly payments. They
are determined to keep within their
means this year and get Bingham
county on a cash basis and get the
Bingham county warrants back to
where they are worth 100 cents on
the dollar. They know just about |
how much money they have to 20 on
this year and they propose to stay
strictly within that limit. Every thirty
lays they will look over the situa-
ion, see how much money they have
