any year named except 1876, during
which the era of reform was inaugu-
rated and the extreme minimum
reached The low t. xes Of that
year locked quite inviting in the
figures, but as a large proportion Of
the amount was required in cash
The consequence was the most of

authorities and people have now
levied tax that, if paid, will enable
the county and town to speedily
reach a firm financial basis, and
hereafter, with reduced expenses
and no debts harassing the county
in the shape OF Judgments, regis

mands, coupled with a wise, safe
and conservative mauag meut, there

We are not, by any means, and are
very sorry to see them levied, and

way to do this except by direct

assets in tax certificates, tax titles

OF which the first five items OF
state. school, Supt's. salary and
Judgments, amounting to $4,0lS 50,
must be collected IN cash, and the
balance OF $4,000 may be paid in
orders or warrants OF the town and
county, in the following proportions,
liz: cash g, county orders 48, and
town orders 20 per cent. For con-
yenieuce the treasurer VIII probably
iigure the amounts, cash one quar-
Ter, county orders one half, town
orders one quarter To the above
tax the treasurer will add his fees
in cash for collecting, being two
per cent in December and five per
cent while the roll remains in his
hands after that date.
In explanation of some of the
items composing the levy we will
say that the item OF state tax was
levied by the state. 1t is less this
year than for many years past. The
school district taxes were LEVIED by
the people at the annual school
meetings. The county school tax
and tax for school Supt. were fixed
and levied by the county board.
The judgments of c. S. Douglas
and Geo. !. Brooks for which
S8I35o and 1918 20 respectively
are levied in cash. wefe Obtained in
the Circuit Court against the coun-
ty upon county orGers held by those
parties, and will draw interest at
the rate Of seven per cent per an
nun from the date they were dock
ered till paid. The county miscel-
lancous fund of S., 600 90 was fixed
by the board, and is to pay the gen
eral expenses of the county, such AZ
salaries of county officers, adyer-
tising delinquent taxes, stationery,
blank books, Insurance etc. for
the court house, and any other Incl
dental expenses that may arise.
This item is increased this year to
cover expenses incurred last year
for which there was no provision.
The county and town road funds
the former fixed by the board, the
latter by the people-are for the
building and maintenance Of streets,
bridges and sidewalks in Superior,
and roads in the county. The poor
fund is of course, for the support OF
the poor of our town. The town
miscellaneous fund is to pay the
salaries of town officers, and gener-
al running expenses. The well fund
IS for the repair Of the public wells
of the town. The last three items
were voted by the people at the an
ual meeting last spring.
We are thus particular in making
these explanations in regard to the
tax levy aud the several items OF
which il is made up, in order TO an
swer inquries that we forosee must
naturally arise III the readers mind
when he peruses the figures given
above. The tax is certainly high
for community like this TO levy,
but it is relief to consider tha,
three fourths of the amount may be
paid in deprecated paper (town and
county orders, which have gone a
begging al summer at 80 and 4O
cents on the dollar, but which will
now, as tax paying time approaches,
probably advance to 60 or 80 cents
We see no reason why they should
, not advance to those figures, as the
increased levy for this year was
made with especial reference to the
absorption of the orders outstand
