Or over 81, 900 month.
These deductions for things we will not
want next year." should in reality not be de-
Quoted. We generally find out that il we
don't want them, the wants generally
keep up even; and if we calculate to progress
much, they will certainly be equal. l make
the deductions, however, TO satisfy alias
even then the margin Of profit or saving by
consolidated government, is quite attractive.
It is argued that the Sheriff 5, Clerks and
Recorders Offices will pay a revenue OF $780,
600 into the County Treasury. The above
calculations are based ON their being self
sustaining. Should they yield S25 900 or
$4,000, it is so much more in our favor.
There are no additions, subtractions, or
cross figuring that can be made-take it in
any form you may-that will not make to tax
payers saving so large, as to disarm every
opponent to Consolidation" If he has the
general interest of the whole community in
view.
At the same time, should there be any ma
terial changes in the bill, or any change in
the representation, then it may work against
the interest of Gold Hill, and it should meet
from its citizens general opposition. As the
hill now stands, we can aid our neighbors and
the county without injuring ourselves. In
fact. it will also benefit US, bnt as our benefit
is so small, comparatively, with Virginia, it
will require but little change in its present
features 10 become an additional burden to
us, instead of benefit. CosNos.
