SEVEN BIDDERS IN THE FIELD
Money Needed for Permanent Road
and Bridge Work In County.
Twenty Year Bonds.

The Federal Securities Corporation
of Chicago was the successful bidder
and landed the entire block Of County
Bonds, sold last Monday. The entire
bond issue sold last Monday amounted
to $4,000 and sold at the neat premi-
um of S3,600 The bonds run from
ten to twenty years, and the money
realized on them will be used to pay
warrants for permanent road and
bridge work, now under way in the
county Wherever government mon
ey is expended on Primary Roads one
of the requirements to secure the fed
eral aid is to build bridges and cul-
yerts which are permanent, and this
requires a much larger expenditure
than under the old system, and it is
only fair tnat future generations
should stand part of the burden Of
such improvements
In a few days the county will re-
ceive the $5S,OOO, together with the
$500 premium and accrued interest
from September 1st, 1921.
Seven bidders were at the court
house and some lively bidding was in-
