County Expenses-what are They?


We should be very glad TO learn the reason
if any exists, why the County Board did not au-
thorzo the printing of the report of receipts and
expenditures of the county of Racine; for the
pas, year. The Statute prov es "that the scv-
eral Boards Of County Supervisors shall cause
to be made out and published yearly, immediate
ly after their Annual Meeting, report of the
receipts and expenditures Of the year next pre-
ccding and the accounts allowed"
Now we have in lieu Of this skeleton of an
account, embracing four items of debt, and six
items cf credit And this miserable apology
for an account, has the signature of the Chair
man of the Beard, and is paimcd of as the
Statement OF the liabilities, and resources of
Racine County" The Statute says nothing
about Liabilities and Resources" it contem-
plates, and very properly too, the idsa that the
people may want to know where the money goes
to,--and for that reason makes it impo1 attire up
on the Supervisors of the county TO afford the
tax payer, sight of a report of the cree pts
and expenditures gives us report-let us
know where $8,O29 IS cents of the peoples
money has gone to- G.
