To do them justice, however, it is on.
~ fair to say that the statement will
compare favorably with most of tlose
made in other counties where they have
lab0retl under the disadvantage of hav-
ing another report. covering the same
items, except that the report of the
Board of Audit commences on the ed

Ing at the same time, and should cover

total for expenditures of $31 ,OO5 o.,

appear to be probable that such an a.

besides it is currently reported that
there are now several thousand dollars

OUR COUNTY FINANCES

We hope every tax payer will take
the time to read carefully the. article
elsewhere published reviewing the Re-
port of the Board Of Audit and the FL
nancial Statement. The figures us laid
before the public by our county officials
show shortage somewhere of about
$4,000. There is no doubt about the
fact that our Mobiles county reports are
cminently unsatisfactory to the people.
Tax Payers, of course, care nothing a.
bout the money, Tut then, like the
Yankee who lost the cent, they do want
to "know where the darnel thing went
to-,
