several towns of the county, As a county
tax, to meet the appropriations made by the
board of supervisors, and the usual eXpens-
es of the county for the ensuing year

the county clerk be authorized and direct
ed to extend upon the collectors books of
the several towns, for the current year, ac-
cOrding to law, such rate per cent as shall
produce the necessary state tax as certified
by the state auditor of public accounts.
