HARTINGTON — Cedar County is between $50,000 and $100,000 in debt right now.
It is paying between $4,000 and $7,000 a year in interest on an amount of indebtedness that would build from three to five courthouses the size of what we have now.
On Satuday night there were warrants registered against Cedar County and unpaid for lack of funds amounting to $57,970.
How many bills there are outstanding for which warrants have not been ordered, there is no way of finding out. The warrants allowed for at the December meeting have not been issued yet at all. The last bunch of steel culverts have not been paid for, either.
This is no new thing. The County has really been in this condition for quite a long time only staying out of trouble by framing it up with the bridge companies not to file warrants. But now Furley is gone, kicked out by the courts after being kicked out by the people.
Now Jennings must go, sad as it is, and the secrecy business must come to an end.
This condition of the County is not a new one at all.
This newspaper has stated it for a long time. Anyone could figure it out in five minutes that we were in the hole, but it was difficult to figure out how much.
