In view of the desperate situation of thla county financially, the County Court earnestly urgea tha peo
ple to vote favorably on the above question. It does not mean that a single dollar of lndebtednesa will m
created, but simply gives the countycourt an opportunity to sell bonds to take care of warrants already Owt
atanding. Theae warrants were Inherited when the county waa laat divided, and under the law as It now
stands there is not one single chance to pay them oft except by an issue of bonds. If this manner It adopt
ed, we will be able to make a small levy each year with which to pay Interest and sinking fund and take p
the bonds as Indicated on the above ballot.
We urge the people to vote tor this proposition and put the county on a cash basis.
