So
The unpaid interest on the bonds of the

and will accrue this year (1868) is about as
follows:
Nashville and Northwestern Railroad. sos. 900
Tennessee and Alabama do .....23, 600

S6S 900
To pay the above amount VIC have the
taxes for railroad purposes for this year.,
which Will &c 500, 600
Balance taxes l667 $4,000
600
In this estimate a liberal allowance is
made for involyencies and non-payments of
taxes, as usual.
l herewith submit the settlements made
by me with the late Trustee, Phineas Gar
rett, Esq, which settlements show in de-
tail all of the financial transactions of the
county for the past year. In parting
from Mr.. Garrett, | take this OPP
portunity of bearing testimony to
his fa1ltess discharge of the duties of
his office, and of his honesty and integri-
ty as public officer.
| would recommend, then, the Trustee be
directed to charge off of his account lot of
Confederate money, amounting to s.,
which was taken for taxes in 1861, az it is
worthless, and it is unnecessary to encum-
Der the books any longer with it,
Respectfully submitted.
w. A. GLENN, County Judge.
Nashville, April 6, 1868.
Accounts to the amount of $685. OF
were allowed.

Resolved, by the County Court of Da-
