cation, county abstract books, real estate,
Ramsey county, unpaid coupons, unpaid
warrants, tax levy of 1879 and prior
years, tax levy of 1880. These accounts
all figure largely in the financial state
ment required annually, and are neces-
sary in the management Of the county
affairs.
Second-The tax ledgers have not been
posted up since the year 1874.
From this fact alone it is impossible to
tell how much is due the county on &C.
count of delinquent taxes.
The tax law passed by the legislature
at its last session requires the County
Auditor to sell at the next tax sale all
property which became delinquent in
1879 and prior years. u.
It is necessary in order to comply with
| that law that the tax books be posted up
before June 1st next, and have to ask
from YOU authority to employ the neces-
sary clerical force to bring up the work.
This is work which should have been
done prior to March 7th, 1881, and it is
not lust that it should be done at my ex-
lpense Respectfully,
j. j. MCCARDY, County Auditor.
The following resolution was read and
adopted:
Resozoed, That the County Auditor be
authorized to employ, for and on behalf
of the county, three persons to complete
the posting Of the delinquent tax ledgers
from the year 1874 to and including the
year 1879, the same being necessary work
remaining unperformed prior to the Off
cial term of the present Auditor. That
the salary of said persons shall be fixed
by the County Auditor and the Commit
tee on Ways and Means, at rate not to
exceed 800 per month, and that said per-
sons shall be discharged by said Commit
tee and Auditor, or this Board, when they
consider said work performed. :
