The payment by County Treasurer Drager will mark the last of a series of bond retire ments which began In 1S2S. serer- ; al years after the original issue of $850,000 was offered. The bonds financed the original market road and county road pavement and Im provement here. The bonds were not all due nn- til 1933 but the county late last year took up a block of S55,0UQ due In 1933 which had been held by the state treasury, Interest on the Issue was at fire per cent. When the bonds were originally authorised by vote of the county. the money market was poor and some difficulty was experienced in placing the Issue.
