This time the bonds will have the backing of the state of Minnesota in accordance with'a law passed at the 1921 session of the state legislature. The bonds ‘are for the purpose of constructing and- completing portions of the Babcock system, some of which have already been worked on. Dif- ficulty has been experienced ‘in the sale qf these bonds previously owing to the fact that they drew a low rate of interest and the security for the bonds was not sufficiently attrac-| tive to offset the intereht rate. In ad- dition to the $250,000 bonds, the county will also issue $90,000 bonds, which will also be backed by thé state, covering expenditures already made on the Babcock system and government.
