After two or three efforts by the county board and Arnold to sell the refunding bonds of the county to take up floating indebtedness they have failed. No one wants to deal with a county that sells its bonds, defaults in payment of interest and sues everyone it has dealt with. Even six per cent general obligation bonds were uninviting. These were the best ever offered by, the county. Arnold has made so much fuss over the payment of commissions that the board dare not employ a broker to find a purchaser, even if one would deal with them,, They have not hesitated to pay Arnold for drawing several sets of bonding resolutions, themselves for the per diem or mileage for holding sessions considering bond matters, and the publication fees for publishing the proceedings and resolutions concerning these bonds that were never sold, and can't sell, but concerning which the taxpayers' money was used in these ways for the benefit of Arnold and his gang, without any return to the county except the humiliation of being turned down by the state and the bond buyers of the country. Verily, we have a bright bunch of commissioners. Someone should move to make the election of Ulvedahl and Bursack unanimous and see if they could complete the destruction of the county during their next investment in the world.
