According to the last report OF the
reasurer and auditor, Kootenai coun
ty had enough cash on hand January
5 10 pay all the warrant Indebtedness
and the bond Indebtedness Of the
county and have $l0.082.84 left In
The treasury. However, the bonds,
imouoting to 81, 900, are not due
and cannot be paid at this time
except at the option Of the holders,
and 1t is said the holders are not will
ing 10 cash in the bonds unless they
.an do so at premium which II
would not be to the advantage OF the
county to pay. The eighty odd thou
sand dollars remaining on hand may
therefore be used to keep the county
IF a warrant basis for several months
This is the first time reported in at
least 25 years that Kootenai county
has had cash on hand 10 excess Of all
obligations.
BY being able to pay warrants as
soon as issued the county can save
more interest than could be saved by
redeeming the bonds at premium, it
is said.
