Funds by State Bond Sale
$97, 800 Fiscal Fees Voted by
Last Legislature Not Enough
to Bring About Sale

Idaho 100000 worth of state
highway bonds. fourth issue, are still
unsold, according to announcement
by ID. F. Banks, state treasurer, at
Boise. When the time for considera-
ton of bids arrived, one bid was
opened, which was unsatisfactory and
was not accetped. This makes the
fourth time an attempt has been made
to sell this issue of highway bonds.
The bonds bear percent interest
and are payable in twenty years, with
the date of issuance, Jan. 1921.
Members of the Sixteenth session of
the legislature appropriated $97 500 to
be used as fiscal fees in disposing of
the bonds.
On June 10, the third attempt to sell
the bonds was made, without success.
No proposal was made at that time
which could be accepted under the
legal requirements.
Failure to sell the state highway
bonds further delays road work in
Idaho county. It was hoped that sat
factory offer for the bonds would be
received, in order that additional con-
tracts on the North and South highway
could be let, and the work continued
until standard state road is built from
Grangeville to New Meadows, a dis
lance of ninety miles. Forty miles of
new highway have been built between
Grangeville and New Meadows, by the
state and federal governments, with
local aid.
