Jasper County Democrat, Volume 9, Number 19, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 August 1906 — HITCH IN BOND SALE. [ARTICLE]

HITCH IN BOND SALE.

A hitch has arisen in the sale of the Jordan stone road bonds, H. R. Kurrie, attorney for E. L. Hollingsworth, who purchased the bonds, holding that the law under which the road is being built is not now in force; that it has been superceded by a later law. Other attorneys hold that the law was not repealed by the acts of 1905 and is therefore good. In the event that the bonds are not taken by Mr. Hollingsworth or others it will probably be necessary for the contractors to carry them themselves.
