Mauds His Five Per Coat laterest. The finance committee of the Board of County Commissioner t confronted by an attorney for the Farson-Leach Bond company of Chicago, who promises to make trouble If he can. He arrived yes terday morning to have a conference with Commissioners Hart. Ostrom and Con nolly, who constitute the committee. His announced purpose Is "to prevent the -county from repudiating its interest obligations" on the $288,000 bonds Issued In 1887, to run twenty years at ( per eent. nd the statements he makee are In direct contradiction of thos made by a member of the brokerage Arm of Kelly Kelly of Toprka and New York, which Arm brought about the recent refunding. The Kelly representative came before the board In April and proposed, thst It Issue bonds for the $268,000 to run twenty years at 14 per cent and to be exchanged tor the present $268,000 wort of S per cents that expire In 1901. The board thought the proposition a good one to ac cept, reasoning that tt I Improbable thst a better rate than 14 could be secured five years henoe. when the. new issue would have to be made, aad that by ac ceptlng this offer It could save 114 per cent for each of the next five years. The matter was advertised thirty dsys and as nsitbsr any objection nor any bid other than Kelly aV Kelly's waa received, the board approved the sale to that firm. The new bonds were signed by the county clerk and Chairman Hofeldt4 0f. the county board and were sent to the state treasurer at Lincoln. What happened after that Is a mystery to thi board. Chairman Hofeldt said yesterday morning! "Our understanding la that before the hew bonds could be taken from the state treasurer sll the old one would have to be presented to him, as It was to be an ex change. But two weeks ago a telegram from the Lincoln correspondent of Ths Be announced that 'the State Board of Educa tional Lands and Funds has closed the transactions for the purchase of $2(8,000 of Douglas county refunding bonds;' that 'they are taken aa an investment of the perma nent school money,' and that 'the transac tion Is made on a basis of J per cent Kelly A Kelly had told us that they held about $200,000 of the bonds and believed they could get th rest. When this news came from Lincoln tt seemed to be sssur ance that the bond were all in, but this Farson-Leach man ssy ' that. his company holds $100,000 of them, which he doesn't propose to give up and on which he Insists on getting the S per cent. As the total wss only $268,000 and as there are known to have been scattered holdings. It Is quite impossible that Kelly t Kelly should have had $200,000 and the Chicago broker $100,000. It is, If we are correctly informed, still more Impossible that the state should have secured our new bonds If the Chlcsgoans held $100,000 of the old ones. We are quite at sea and will b until we have Investigated fully." The afternoon conference did not ma terialize, as Chairman Harte was the only member of the committee present. He toll the representative of the Farson-Leach company that th board considered Itself out of the matter and that the negotia tions must be between ths Chicago com pany and Kelly at Kelly. Ths attorney left, with a request that other member of the board and the county attorney be present this afternoon at 4 o'clock to hear what he has to say. He told a Be re porter that hi company own none of the bonds now, baring old the $100,000 It did own, but that he represents holders of about $80,000. and if the board declines to come his way -wilt aua In the United State court for 3H per cent' (one-halt year's Interest) on $80,000,, or $2,000.
