Whereas, the Board Of Supervisors in
former years have made inadequate pro-
vision for the payment Of the expenses Of
the Circuit Court and other liabilities OF
the county for the year next succeeding
tina annual assessment Of county taxes,
thus leaving no money in the Treas Try for
the payment Of jurors and ether creditors
of the county on demand, and
Whereas, by this policy floating debt
has accumulated from year to year depre-
ciating the county scrip and compelling
the comfy to pay the discount in the
shape Of high prices for labor and supplies
and in the case Of Jurors, who are obliged
to receive the scrip at par in payment Of
services at low legal rates, imposing
loss on such citizens, therefore
Resolyed:-That the Board deems it
the true policy Of the county ut the pros
ent time, to pay its floating debt and
bring the county scrip at par; and for
that purpose county tax is leYisd at
this meeting which is deemed sufficient 10
meet that object the coming year.
