The matter Of outstanding road and
bridge warrants was taken up and
discussed. AS these warrants now draw
six percent interest and money could
be loaned from the State at Az per-
cent interest, thus effecting saving
of approximately sS,5Oo.oO per year,
the board decided to take up those
outstanding warrants by issuing bonds
to the State, and The following reso-
luton was offered by Commissioner
Nels Matson who moved its adoption:
whereas, the County Of Pine, State
Of Minnesota, in the years 1925 and 1925
did legally make, execute and deliver
its certain warrants in the aggregate
sum Of 5000. 100000 for the purpose of
paying for road and bridge construction
in said county, for the payment Of
which lawful tax levy had thereto
fore been made, which said warrants
were issued to various persons for Ia
Dor and material and are now out
standing against the said county and
unpaid, and
whereas, the County Board Of said
county deems 1t for the welfare OF
said county to issue bonds to the
State Of Minnesota to refund Its oblf-
cations aforesaid in order to save inter-
est and to put its road and bridge fund
on q cash basis andt hus avoid the dis
counting Of it's warrants, which have
accumulated solely because Of the fact
that road construction under author
lied tax levies has been carried on in
advance of the payment Of the. taxes
