the salary of the Judge of the County Court
which is charge upon the county. There
being a sufficient amount on hand to pay the
whole expense of supporting the Poor at the
Poor House, for the year 1873, no tax was neces-
ssry for that purpose, but the fund in the Treas
ury being exhausted, it becomes necessar to
levy tax for the support of the Poor Other
penses constantly accruing dlrsing the year,
ouiring some provision to meet them, the Board
fixed the county levy at 6 cents on each $500 of
the real and personal property of the county, and
capitation tax of Scots per head.
