Statute Giving Montana First Option
on Furchasing County Bonds
• Placed Under Fire.
(Special to Inter Mountain.)
Helena, June 25.—The board of state
land commissioners yesterday had be
fore it a number of communications in
Regard to the law giving the state the
first option of purchasing city, county
Und school district 'bonds at not less
lhan five per cent, interest.
A number of counties and school dis
tricts have such bonds for sale, but ob
ject to paying the five per cent when
private bidders would bid par at a lower
rate but for the state's option.
As it is private parties will not bid, as
this option stands in the way. Thus the
bond issues authorized are a drug on the
market.
The law will probably be tested by the
Flathead county commissioners, as they
accepted a bid for $60,000 of bonds with
out giving the state the first option.
The state treasurer was not notified of
the issue and was yesterday instructed

Hillings and $8,000 by Big Timber are
held up awaiting the state's action. Big
Timber has an offer of $960 premium on
Its four per cent, bonds, but the law
prevents its acceptance.
The board instructed the state treas
urer to buy $20,000 of Kenwood school
bonds at five per cent and $5,000 of Ham
ilton school bonds at six per cent. The
state has $100,000 lying idle in permanent
funds.
The board has submitted to the state

are delinquent in the payment of rent
