For fearsome may get th.e wrong impression from our account of a school board meeting in our last issue relative to ‘ the issuance of bonds.wemight add that the plan- followed was the same ns in Jeffer­ son and Boss township and ap­ proved by Judge Kyle. However, attorneys and.bond dealers did not all view the plan the same way owing to a -complication of the statutes fyid a Licking county court 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 centof the bid, as required by the notice, the bonds-would no doubt have been kept rather than forfeit that amount. As there was nothing on record to held the firm the board muatprofeeed undeiunether section of law and offer the bonds again.
