Making a total appropriation of SI34,-

IL will be observed that we have in
creased by the sum or $4,000 the appro-
priatlon for the expenditure of our Coun-
ty Courts. In explanation of this action
on our part it may be stated tina the
items chargeable TO this appropriation,
ars Ia every case made necessary by leg
islatiYe enactmsnts as the county grows
in population, the volume of judicial
busidess annually transacted also in
creases, aud the aggregate of these items
is being constantly augmented.
In this WAY. and owing TO these causes,
1t becomes imperative TO enlarge this APP
preparation. The Board has no further
control over it than to see that il is re-
served for aud applied to the purpose for
which il is made. Every claim that is
allowed against it is allowed under and
by virtue of an express statutory proVi-
sion. and In payment of such claims the
Board has little or no discretion
Unlike many other appropriations,
which are expended by the order or upon
the initiative of the Board, and for the
disbursements of which we are thereby
specially responsible, this appropriation
is expended. not by any act of ours, vi
by operation of law. Our appropriation
for Jail, Court House and grounds is
increased 5000 over that OF last year,
heretofore IL was necessary during
the gscal year to transfer sums of money
to that account, to make good for the de-
fciency in said appropriations of former
years, for the reasons that the mounts
appropriated were insufficient TO pay for
the care and keep of prisoners in County
