MUST REIMBURSE MApELIA
Watonwan County Ordered To Pay
$14,2S1.34 To Village


Madelia, September 22.-The
board of county commissioners has
been instructed by Commissioner C..
M. Babcock to issue a warrant in
favor of the Village of Madelia in
the sum of $14,291.34, to cover the
cost of paving the states eighteen
feet thrugh the center of Main street
from the Madelia Motor company,
corner to the Madelia hospital cor
ner This part of Main street forms
part OF Trunk Highway No. 16, ,and
the paving has been approved by
the state highway department. This
refund will mean a considerable re-
duction in the amount OF taxes
which would have been assessed
against property owners along the
street. .'.
In order to make the payment to
the village the county board will be
obliged to issue bonds of the county,
and at a later date the state will
reimburse the county for the amount
thus paid. The board met this week
and would have taken up the matter
at that meeting, but decided to wait
until it is ascertained whether or
not the paving in st. James will be
accepted by the state department:
In case it is accepted the bonds OF
the county will be issued in an
amount sufficient to cover the re-
endorsement to both cities.
