Monticello Efforts of Piatt County Treasurer Cloyd Fisher to secure a personal bond for the collection of taxes met with only partial success at a meeting of the county's bankers here Friday night. The bankers postponed any definite action on Fisher's proposal that they serve as bondsmen for the $94,000 personal bond which must be furnished before the collection of this year's real "estate and personal taxes can proceed. Sidestepping the question of guaranteeing the bond themselves, the bankers decided to appoint a committee of three to investigate and attempt to interest some individual or individuals in serving. The committee consists of George Hursh of Deland, Herbert Mahler of Monticello and A. L.

Wilkinson of Bement. Going a step further each bank head agreed to furnish a bond to cover any deposits of county tax money that might be placed in his bank. For several years taxes have been collected in a number of Piatt county banks in addition to the collections made by the treasurer. Jersey Show Planned At Coles County Fair By Staff Correspondent.
