With the last show closing at about II o'clock. the ground was cleared at 1 o'clock this morning and the big top was down and packed ready for the jump to the next stop.

County Highway Bonds
Mature in Four Years
Retiring $19,161, 5S7 in Next Four
Years Will Take Big Slice of
Highway Funds

Since nearly every county in the
state, including Stearns issued some
bonds for work on roads which
are now part of the trunk highway
system, statement from the High
way department showing the status
of the reimbursement bonds may
be of interest to readers of the
Herald.
The total amount of county
bonds assumed by the state was
$34,782,436. The bonds which
have become due and which have
been paid total $1,725, 1852. The
state has paid out $10,282,792 in
interest in the last seven years. In
addition to this it has placed 3d.
100000 in the sinking fund. The
sinking fund plus the earned in
terest amounted to $10,295,573 on
Dec. 1
The bonds were issued for vari-
Gus periods, but the largest blocks
will come due in the next four
years. The payments which must
be made in the next four years are
as follows:

"The bonds coming due during
the next four years will use up all
the sinking fund accumulations,
and in addition will take nearly S4,-
100000 a year out of current
funds to help pay principal and in
terest," Commissioner C.. M. Bah
cock says. "This will take funds
which are badly needed for con-
struction to meet traffic needs.
Most of the county bonds were is
sued for ten year periods and at the
high interest rates which prevailed
after the war.
eff state bond issue were au-
thorized now, it would permit us
to go on with the construction pro-
gram during the period when the
bulk of the county bonds become
due. There will be $13,884,995 in
county bonds coming due in 1888
to 1915 inclusive, but they are well
distributed, so that the amount
needed annually TO pay the princi-
pal and interest on these bonds, to-
gether with the sinking fund and
interest on a S2O,00O,0O0 state
bond issue, would not be serious
load on the trunk highway fund.
If we get funds so we can pave
1000 miles of the more heavily
travelled routes, the saving in main
tenance in the next fifteen years
will be more than twice as great
as the interest on $20,000,000
bond issue.
Although the county bonds
take a large slice out of the trunk
highway fund each year from 1923
to 1882, the money was not wasted.
The public has had several years
use of the roads built with these
funds, and the savings to car own
ers amount to much more than the
principal and interest on these
bonds. If these bonds had not
been issued, the roads would have
had to be built later on anyway,
and in the meantime we would
have had a heavier maintenance
bill. The state, however, would be
able to get lower interest rates than
the counties get, and would be
able to do the work where it. is
most needed, regardless of county
lines"

portance. He must keep to the
White House, live in the White
House, work in the White House.
President Coolidge knows the value
of a change of scenery and of en-
vironment.
Every other president has ZEAL
lied it. In burst of confidence.
Woodrow Wilson once told news
paper men he often wished he
could equip himself with set OF
false whiskers so he could move
about like an ordinary individual.
SO President Coolidge thinks,
that for the presidents and for
the wives of the presidents, it
would be a good thing to have a
home to which they could turn,
away from the city. In such place
the president could have privacy!
he could have charge, he could
raise things in his garden, he could
have his own flowers and his own
vegetables, fruits, animals and
pets. He could wear old clothes and
especially enjoy the comfort that
goes with wearing an old and dis
reputable looking hat.
Washington is humid and tropl-
cally hot in the summer. The win.
tiers are mild and autumn and
spring are delightful. Mountains
and valleys are in close proximity
and trees grow everywhere. II
would be extremely restful if a
president, tired with the days work
could call it a day and get in his
automobile and run out to the
country place for a week end.
At any rate, that is what Pres
ident Coolidge thinks, Already q
movement is on foot to act on his
suggestion and Representative
Woodrum, of Virginia, has intro,
duced a joint resolution asking fol
an investigation of available sites
He has Virginia in mind and that is
where the country home will be 10,
Gated, in all probability, if one is
established.
All this suggests the new Cool.
idge, Coolidge who is leaving Of,
flee contented and serene and q
Coolidge who is learning to play.
