Your Attention a Moment
CONTINUED from last issue.

In our communication last
week we discussed the indebted
ness of our county, the rate OF
taxation necessary to pay the cur
rent expenses of the same. We
wish now to reason with the tax
payers as to the best plan or
method for the payment of our
county debt. lam aware of the
fact that any increase in the coun-
ty taxes above the ordinary rate
is very Objectionable to some of
our peoble. Either we have our
debt to pay, or it forever stands
against us to the injury Of o great
many people. Presenting our
debt to be $1500000, as stated
heretofore, and the sooner we
could pay it the better it would
be for the people; and in that pre-
sumption the county court pro-
ceeded to pay 40c above the
amount necessary to pay the
current expenses, to be appied to
the debt Of our county. That
amount for this year, and 45c fol
next year would pay off the debt
in two years. We would ther
have paid Soc on the hundred
dollars in all, and would have
cancelled our eebt. This is taking
1895 as our basis, but some of oul
neighbors say that is not the best
plan. They say the hardship il
too great on the taxpayers. The
debt ought to run for a period o
ten yeass, and the amount of tax
es to pay the same ought not tt
exceed 10c for each year. Now
let us figure on this proposition il
the first place the 10c would no
pay the debt under IA years: nov
suppose we issue bonds, say ten
in denominations of $500 each
running from one to ten years
bearing 6 per cent interest to bait
annually. According to the stat
ute, we cannot allow greater inter
est than 6 per cent, and they cal
not sell for less than their pa
value. Now, in order to redeem
the first bond and pay the interest
it would take for the

Public Questions.

We were pleased With Capt.
Story's answer to some questions
that were asked the knowing ones
about county affairs, and feel III
clined TO thank him for the public;
but before the subject is dropped
we want him or some one else TO
tell us how it was that in the year
1889 we fell short only 9lG0.13 IN
o 25c levy. Then in 1890 j.,
levy was 40c and perhaps the
assessment roll longer, aud the
county fell behind $l513.56. What
was done that caused this years
expenses to be so much greater
The levy for 1892 was Soc and we
fell short only $343.G5; and with
the same levy for 1893 the short
age was @4047.00; and for 1894 it
was $G15S.37. What was done
on these special years that made
such difference i'll county ex-
penses9 1t appears that for the
year 1896 Chairman Shannon did
not make a full report Of all the
county expenses. How is it that
he left out Il part Of the expenses
in making his report. If possible
show where this cause is and who
is responsible for the abrupt
changes in the current expenses
Of the county and what brought it
about.
