Show State Cannot Pay Bounty Claims State Auditor John E. Holden wishes wish-es to inform the public that the outstanding out-standing bounty claims on file in his office amount to $17,076.00. The money available to pay these claims amount to seventy five cents on the dollar, or J12.806.99. This distribution distribu-tion will leave a balance of $4,269.01 yet to be paid, the auditor hopes at some later date the balance in full can be paid, as the Legislature passed pass-ed a new bounty law increasing the tax on sheep and goats to five mills and on cattle and range horses, two mills. Based on the 1924 reports, according ac-cording to the audjtor, the revenue from this new tax should be ample to pay the bounty claims after this year. |
