However, attorneys and boud dealers did not all view the planVthe same way owing to a complication of the statutes and a Licking county codrt held 'the reverse of Judge Kyle and since then bond dealers are refusing to buy under such ’circumstances. Had the Toledo firm put up the $8750, a five per cent of the bill, as required by the notice, the bonds would no doubt have been kept rather tliau forfeit thatamount, As there was nothing on record to held the firm the board mUBkprooaedutidcranother section of law and offer the bond* again.
