The following report to the Finance
Committee was read and adopted:
The Committee on Finance respect
fully report that the requirements for
county purposes for the year ending
March 81, 1892, aggregate sl3i, 1928, and
that the assessment is S48, 00O, 900.
Tho committee, therefore, recon-
mend that the county rate be fixed at
IS cents on each 800, which will pro-
duoe the sum OF sl4l,0oo, after deduct
ing errors and commissions.
The committee further reports that
tho trustees OF the poor will require
S2S, 800 for the year ending April 30,
1892. and also Sl0,920 for Interest on
bonds amounting to s227, 200, a total
OF S3S, $50; therefore 1t is recommend
ed that the poor rate be fixed at 10
conts on each 800, which will produce
tho sum or Sal, 2S0 after delinquent
errors and commissions.
The committee further report that
the appropriations and allowances
made at the March session aggregate
SoS 1866, and that the amount due
from collectors Is $50, 097, SO that prac-
tioally there Is no surplus from the
1890 levy, as the collectors have claims
for additional errors which will ma
terlally reduce the balance II not ex-
tlnguish 1t.
There seems to be surplus Of 90, 200
for county purposes for the year end :
ing March 81, 1892, but the committee
submit that the sum is not too large
to cover expenditures which cannot
now be foreseen.
The committee also direct attention
to the fact that the assessment for 1891
shows q marked decrease as compared
with 1890, and remark that IL Is largely
made up from the striking of OF more
than 10000 poll taxables and to q fail
ufe by assessors to assess new and i'm
