At & meeting of the board of edu
cational landi and buildings the board
decided to make no change In . the
offer made by State Treasurer Brian.'
October 13, for fl.000,000 or, Douglas
county court house bonds. The bonds
bear 4 'per cent Interest. The state
treasurer offered to take tbem at par.
the. Douglas county board to deliver
'.he bonds at their pleasure, or. when
ever money la needed for the work
or .construction, sixty days' notice to
be; given of delivery. The county
board waa given the accrued interest
up', to the date of deliverr of bonds.,
This would enable the county to save
accrued interest on a large part of the
Issue. If they are sold to brokers the
county will have to deliver all of the
bonda at tine time and pay accrued
futerest. The state board stands by
this offer of the state treasurer. Some
