Cash in hand


Thus 1t is seen that unless some of the un-
paid taxes arc turned In, the County Treasurer
will be obliged to borrow money with which
to pay the expenses Of the approaching I'D
juurned term of Court. With what, then, at
present can the county bonded debt b. paid ?
The present administration, however, will no
doubt be in a condition n to liquidate the bond
ed debt W thin the next two years, but the
people have thus far had good reasons to I'm
pose implicit confidence in the discretion and
integrity OfMcssrs Gallagher and Andreas,
and the people are content to let these gen.
tlemen manage the county's affairs for the
next two years, with Conscientious guaran-
tee that their confidence will in no manner
be abused. / am authorized to say that tho
"wlndmll battle" which one of the Mauch
Chunk papers has SO desperately fought for
the past few weeks in regard to making re.
pairs on the Courthouse had no foundation in
TACT that such an expenditure of money at
present has never been sanctioned 10y Messrs.
Gallagher and Andreas, and that il such a
plan has been advocated 10y any Commissioner
it must have been Mr.. Ash who that journal
holds up as a ar gon of economy, although he
drew from the county more for his services last
year than any other Commissioner on the
Board
