John D Peters, representative represen-tative of the Harrl3 Trust & Saving bank of Chicago, appeared and Informed In-formed the board that the banking company had cancoled Its bid for the road bonds recently awarded to It. The company's attorney refused to O. K the bonds for the reason that tho special election held in tho county, coun-ty, ut which the people voted In favor fa-vor of tho bonds, had not been properly proper-ly called, in thnt the notice did not specify where tho Improvements wero to be made, and that tho notice ot election was too general. According to a recent ruling of tho supremo court of the state of Utah the Improvements Improve-ments and whero they are to bo mado, must ho specified in the call of election and-that counties cannot bond for road purposes unless tho Improvements Im-provements aro mentioned In the call. Tho news Is a Kreat disappointment to the people of Box Elder county, for they have figured for a long tlmo on tho Improvements that wore contemplated con-templated with the $200,000 salo of bonds. It will bo some tlmo before the matter will again be taken up. |
