tainly have no wish for d controversy,
but only TO give my views of the law,
and in the hope that we might possibly
come to look at things in the same
light. Now as to the first part OF the
article there is no difference worth
mention. | had no idea OF wanting
10 pay more than the mount as made
by our calculation, but they would not
give me any assurance that they would
fulfill the contract, and of course |
could take 10 steps TO have it recon
ciled to III figures.
Now as to my views of the law, the
law requires the county court to make
a levy Tor county purposes not to eX-
coed 40 cents on tie hundred dollars.
Section 6SlS authorizes and empowers
lit does not say shalD the court to APP
portion and subdivide that money into
live different funds, viz: LIST, for pau
pers and insane persons; I'd, bridges
and repairing roads; Sd, for paying
salary OF county officers; 4th, for
jurors, clerks of election aud witness
es; 9Th, for the other ordinary expenses
of the county. Now the court, as |
understand, never have a~ppOrlioned
the money in that way. | know it
does not do SO now, because the law is
not mandatory, but leaves it with the
court to do SO or not. The money is
in a general fund, and is placed in the
road aud poorhouse funds as it Is need
ed, the only two other funds we have.
Now section 6ol9 can have no bear
ing Oh the question, las the law does not
say we shall subdivide il, and We
never have done SO. That section of
the law, as | understand il, Vas made
to protect the counties at the time the
bond holders were getting Judgments
and trying to attach the money neces-
sary for the ordinary expenses OF the
county.
Now as to section 6502, we all know
that just after the war most all the
county courts were very ~extravagant,
issuing Il great many warrants, and
recklessly running the counties Ill
debt, and of course it was necessary to
pass stringent laws to check their eX-
travagance; but | do not conceive il
was ever the intention of the law tt
prohibit counties paying their debts
wnen they had a surplus in the treas
ury, and [ cannot understand (~althOugl
they say Il precedent is nothirg) how
through all these back years, although
il has been constantly done, no county
court, county treasurer OF county at
torney whose business it Is to advis'
the court, ever before found out hat |
was against the law to use the money
to pay The debts of the county.
And now as to cUmpllcatlng on
