County Levy, 1868.

dance with the provisions of section
q If Article IS, of Code Of Public General
Laws of Maryland, the following statement OF
,he law for the year 1888, to meet the current
exnenses and charges of the county for that
yaor is herewith submitted and published, by
the direction of the county Commissioners for
Allegany county.
The assessment for the present year amounts
to the sum of SIS 1886 072 90 BEING about S2oOo oV
less than it was at the last year. his appa-
rent deficiency occurs in this way: The com
missioner at their April meeting, made tho
rough ovcrhauling of the Assessment BOOKS
and struck off more than 100000 of insoiVeht
taxables which had been accommodating lor
number of years, and upon which no '"NcS
were realized during that period. Mo'o '"'"
$500, 900 of good taxabies have been p."e.u On
the books within the last year tor the llrSt 'lnc
o. =. nros.nt there are very considerable
,roro soivent tax paycrs upon the books than
last ynor. ard indeed at any previous year for
some time.
The Levy for 1868 amounts to the sum
of sts 700 IA which is consid srable in excess
If that of 1862. This increase is in consequence
~ number of unforeseen and unavoilab c lev
;os IF heavy amounts. For instance the coun-
Nv has been owing the school fund. Il large sum
of money for twenty or twenty-five years, IN
the shape of a loan to build the court house upon
which debt, the county has hcen paying the in
tercst all that period. The School Commits
sioners of the county made a demand for 5000
of the claim, which was accordingly approprl'
ated Another item Of $4,000 was levied to re-
pair and renew the road leading from fro,tbUrS
to Westernport a large portion OF which was
utterly destroyed by the great food OF ia6I.-
Double this amount was Stcraly and unanimous
" asked for, by the heavy taxpayers OF that
region. The large SUN of S2,1Sh,hl had to be
levied t. meet deficiencies in the expenses OF
Circuit Court for last year the estimate OF It's
clerk, and levy for said estimate being snort
that amount to cover the extraordinary charges
of that year. Other lcvieS Of similar charac-
ter appear in the list which will more than a'
count for this increase in the general levy
The appropriation for ;hc ordinary and iloau1&
expenses of the county, being abo~t the same
ms last year.
TO meet these expenses the sum OF 81 cents
ON each hundred do lars was levied upon the
assessed property of said county; also tn" sum
of % cents in tie hundred dollars for the state
tax was levied in accordance with the act OF
1862, chapter lO5
The undersigned would in conclusion state
that there arc now, no extraordinary apr:"gl'
alton, or claims in prospect, all having been
provided for, so that the mex: genera! levy
ought not To excec from $50 ooO to So 900.
