COUNTY tlNANCES.-N are SldQ TO
see that our article of last week on the
finances of the county has awakened
some attention. 1t is an suspicious
event in the history of the county that
for once an interest is taken in her finan-
cial affairs. Hopes begin to arise that
a better order of things is about to be
inaugurated.
The Grass Valley Telegraph of Sat-
urday asks few pertinent questions of
"some one in authority" concerning
county affairs, As it will be some time
before complete official report can be
made out and published, we attempt
to anticipate a portion of its contents to
crafty the laudable curiosity of our CO.
temporary, taxpayers and scrip holder.
To the question, "Do our officials knoac
the true condition of our county fnan-
ces," we reply that they do not exactly.
There has been no ineligible system
of keeping the accounts of the county
practiced by former county officials
The fire also disarranged affairs in such
manner that it is impossible to ascer-
tain except proximateiy what old scrip
may be outstanding, unre gistered on the
present Treasurer books and unre-
deemed. 1t is not known to q certainty
what amount of Court House Bonds are
outstanding to fraction or even as near
as one thousand dollars. But proxi-
mately we are enabled to tell the amount
on the county books from data furnished
us from the County Clerks office.
We learn from the same source that
politely furnished us information last
week, that more of the Court House
Bonds had been redeemed than was at
first made evident, by-----$ 1912
Which will reduce the debt
of the county to about -Sl44,937 30
The Telegraph wants to know how
the debt has grown to such figure
We will give the items, The debt on
the 18th of August last, as appears by
official report, was -S1O2, 235 Is
There was an error in that
report of Observation-Disclosures. S,957 so
Making the debt on the
18th of Aug, as near as it
then could be ascertained $111,193 %
Interest to be added 1890 1892 %
Amount allowed by the
Board of Supervisors, 1st ses-
sion since 18th Aug 900 SO
Amount allowed at last ses-
sion of Board .....- 1897 II
The foregoing figures will show how
the debt has been increased to its pres
cnt amount. The sum owed by the
county is in round numbers about one
hundred and forty-fve thousand dollars
instead of one hundred and fifty thou
sand as stated in former article, but
the latter figure will be more thanreach-
ed before the debt is lessened. The
county must commence the practice of
the most rigid economy and extra taxes
must be levied to wipe out the principal
of the debt as fast as possible. The
amount of interest the county is paying
per annum joined with the sum paid for
depreciation of scrip arc items Of expen-
diture large enough of themselves to
use up the revenue of county of
the second or third class These two
items alone swallow up some twenty-one
thousand dollars per annum.
