NO MORE WARRANTS MAY ISSUE
Whitman County Has Reached the Limit of Indebtedness.
Colfax, April 4.—Judge Sullivan of the superior court handed down yesterday the decision in the case of H. W. Livingstone vs. Whitman county to decide whether the auditor can legally issue a warrant since the constitutional limit of indebtedness has been reached. After reviewing the case the decision states that "We are constrained to hold that all debts incurred by the county after having reached its constitutional limit of indebtedness are absolutely unwarranted, illegal and void, and all warrants issued as evidence of such are also void."
No warrants on the general county fund have been issued for labor performed or material furnished since October 11, when the 1894 assessment went into effect.
