On suggestion OF Nj. Flaherty and on
motion of Mr. W. lIoge the county clerk
was authorized 10 issue salary orders quar-.

instructed to pay into the treasury all fees
collected at least as often.
COUNTY FINANCES.
In the afternoon the Finance committee
made The unwelcome announcement that
both The coun,y's funds and her ability 10
make further loans are exhausted, and the
committee recommended that In payment
Of the claims audited at this session, the
clerk be directed 10 issue orders bearing
interest at s per cent, payable annually ;
that this order be in force until the he&i
session of the Board and then cease unless
continued. that the orders 30 Issued be
sut lee, to call, interest to cease II not pre-
sep,ed 90 days subsequent to call, In ex-
olanaton Mr.. Bellinghausen said that the
tact WAS tina, ihc Board in previous years
had not appreciated the amounts necessary
for current expenses, and that now inc
treasury is at |, asst year behind the DC
mands made upon It, Mr., Hoffman sug-
gesled that the Board join IN one big indi-
yidual note to raise $4,000. He would go
ON /, and so would Messrs. Bellinghausen,
Fis cher, Miller, &c, but it was suggested
the orders would be issued tomorrow ana
il was now too late for that The plan OF
the committee was the best that had been
suggested hot because 1t was specially
inviting but because it WAS the only one
promising relief from the difficulty. The
trouble does not como from the building
committee, who have drawn but Sl3l ,s2S.O9
OF the Sl50,O00 raised; but comes from an
Increase of current expenses and OF course
expenses incidental to the furnishing and
heating OF the house. The Board mlscal~
cula,ed. The Board has borrowed SlO3,
600, while the whole tax levy was but S131,.
1892, OF which only approximately
$4,000 has been collected, so that the
treasury is badly short. Mr. Belllnghaus
en- SAID the orders would float at par in his
neighbolhood, but Mr.. Pitcher though,
Strea,or banks would not take them; first,
because they feel sore that they gotnone OF
the loans of the fall, which they think The
Ottawa banks can carry to the end; sec
ondly, because they find use for then

adopted, and the orders Will so be issued
