SEWERS FINANCES.
Receipts Greatly Exceed the Expen-
ditures-Gold Cash Balances.

Richfeld, Jan. n.-Samuel G. Clark,
clerk of Sewer county, has completed
his annual financial report. 1t shows
last years receipts to have been 3d.
350.14, and disbursements, $S,35472, an
excess of S4,995.42 receipts over dis
bursements. Taxes collected aggregate
81, 10730. On Jan. 4, 1897, the balance
on hand was S2,06S.65; on Dec. 27, to
which date the report extends it was
81, 995.42. Resources are SS,52445, and
liabilities, $4,951.35, an excess of $3,573.1O
resources above liabilities. In the
sinking fund is 50, 300, and in the inter-
est fund, $46S.76.
In 1896 the countys tax levy was 51a
mills on a valuation of s1415, 500. and of
the proceeds 500 was lost to the county
in uncollected taxes. In 1897 the levy
was 61a mills on a valuation of S1,793, S12
valuation, and only 5000 was lost in I'M
collected taxes. This years resources
will be further increased by $1,000, to be
received from the $1,000 bond fund, and
it is probable that the county and
