tnaL Is being yearly Dullt up ny tnlS
source of revenue. lam only too glad
to add my little mite to this revenue,
so that my children may not grow up
in ignorance. And. now, Granger( y, l
have before me a card from the county
treasurer stating that he had called in
the last registered warrant on the gen
eral fund, so that now you can go to
him with your warrant and get dollar
for dollar. Please tell us at what other
time this could have been done since
the county was organized? The tax
payer can readily see that subtracting
the expenditures of the county, $23,-
1850, from the income, $23,S0l.54.
leaves balance to the county of
80, to which add railroad tax and
revenue from all other sources for 1887,
S2,S07. so, which shows Il balance of
$3.329.5S in favor of the county. Take
from this $2,371.59, commission paid
the treasurer, and it still leaves S957.99
for the county.
