Delphi Herald: The present board of county commissioners have made an order that here after the expense of making a loan of school funds to individuals will be borne by the county instead of the party borrowing. This is quite an advantage to the borrower as it has cost him $6.25 to get the deal transacted heretofore. It is more than likelv that hereafter there will be more loans of this fund because of the decrease in expense of makjjig loans.
