The question is asked every dsv
by some taxpayer, "How is it that
the county goes in debt several
thousand dollars every year," The
question is easily answered. The
county court every fall have made
an estimate of the running expenses
of the county, and have estimated
the annual expenses at $40, 900, and,
to raise this amount the court madel
tax levy of 9 mills each wear
which was all right if all the taxes
were collected, but as less than
half of the taxes are ever collected
it is easy to be seen that the county
must and does go behind $1,000
every year. The cause of high
taxes for county purposes this year
is that the court levied a Is mill
tax in order to reduce the indebted.
ness. The sheriff sold property
that had $4,000 in taxes due
Lincoln county against it in Decem.
Der, 1894, and if this property is
not redeemed before December
next, the county will own the
property. 1t will be an easy matter
to get the taxes out of it as soon as
the county acquires title and can
dispose Of it. 1t is generally under
stood that this land is mostly town
lots of but little value, but such is
not the case. There are MANY
good ranches, and many of the lots
are improved and some of them
have good houses upon them, and
every town on the Bay is represent
ed on them. so here is one resource
of $4,000 that the county will
have in December next. And then
there is due the county on the 1895
tax roll about $1,000, so it will be
seen that the county has $22 900
resources. The exact indebtedness
Of the county we will know in a
few days as the county officers are
now making up their semi-annual
accounts which will be published
next issue.
