Balks on Electric Light Bond Tax
The Union Pacific Railroad company paid its taxes this week, less 371 dollars the certificate called for. The draft tendered was accepted by County Treasurer Fishman without prejudice to Cheyenne County's claim for the balance. The withheld amount was because the Village Electric Light Bonds had not been sold and no fund existed to place it. The matter will likely be decided by the courts in due time.
