It wa mored on the streets yesterday that Auditor Babcock had refused to reg- ister the $25,000 refunding bonds and $50,000 Missouri Pacitic bonds voted by the people of Lincoln, on the ground that the bonded indebtedness (Lilm city is already in excess of the 10 per cent timit. The assessed valuation for taxable pur- poses is about §2,180,000, and the bonds outstanding amount to nearly $300,000, being some $90,000 over the proportion tixed by law. Mr. Babeock is said to base his refusal on the opinion of the supreme court in ‘State ex rel Wiant vs Babcoc when Justice Maxwell held that the 10 per cent provision restricts the “‘entire issue of bonds by the county 10 10 per cent of the assessed valuation.” Good lawyers now hold that the 10 per cent can be voted in aid of each and every work of futernal improvement. It this be so, the bouds will nndoubtedly be accepted and registered by the state ofli- cials, but they will probably insist upon an opinion by the attorney general or chief justice before proceeding.
