Bondholder dispute over Lincoln county bonds in Troy
A Troy editor responds to recent communications about bonded indebtedness. He argues the county court should follow the will of a broad taxpayer majority and test bond validity in court. He links the issue to the 1857 St Louis and Keokuk railroad charter and argues the charter is unconstitutional, potentially nullifying the bonds. He cites Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin precedents and urges honoring taxpayers’ petitions. He names local jurors, merchants, and upcoming political meetings.
