Mr.. Stadden, from the committee on Fl.
nance submitted the following report:
II is decidedly the opinion of the commit.
I tee, that county orde 5 issued as indebted
| ness against as wealthy and populous a coun-
| ty as ours, should be equal to cash.
! And we are clearly satisfied that the board
| Of supervisors as financial officers of the
| county, have not only the legal right, but
! that it is their duty as board to do all such
/ things and acts as they should be well salts
/ fled would be TO tae pccuniary interest OF tho
county.
| We therefore recommend to the board 10
/ authorize the clerk of this board, and make
! it his duty, on the presentation By any per
son holding county orders to the amount cf
! $500, to receive, and in presence Of the
treasurer Of the county, 10 cancel such or
derS, and in lieu thereof, issue bond to
such person for the sum Of $500, bearing
interest, payable annually, at the rate of 10
per cent. per annum, the principal Of such
Ion I, to be made payatl; 2 years from date,
or sooner, at the option Of the county
And also, that Il tax Of four mills on every
dollars worth Of property be levied to pay
outstanding orders, interest on any funded
/ bond heretofore issued, or that may be issu.
/ Cd.
Your committee feel confident that il such
an arrangement shall be carried out, our
county orders Immediately will be received
/ by business men As cash, and that any -cryi-
ccs or materials wanted for the use Of our
county can be purchased with our orders, at
the lowest cash price; whereas, heretofore.
we are confident by the deprecated value Of
our county orders it has as general rule
cost the county from 20 to 80 per cent.
1t will also be borne in mind that the
mill tax above alluded to, will only leave
our tax for this year as it was the past year,
as / mills last year was levied for county and
poor house expenses.
The committee on paurer accounts re-
ported the following claims correct, and they
were allowed:
