ing and preparations are being made to re-
model the building as soon as the Jail can be
cleared OF its inmates. The diphtheria scare
which caused the court to take recess has
hindered the work, as nothing can be done
until the jail is cleared The reports OF
diphtheria were utterly false. There have
been few cases of mild type and some Of
those cases were not sufficient to keep the
sick from working in their hay fields as was
the case of the sick juryman who went home

this year SO there is practically no
difference in the taxable valuation of
that class of property from last
year S figures though the market
value has increased very rapidly
ana big advance will be noticeable
next year, for much improvement
has been going on since the last
assessment was made in 1898. and
the four new towns along the Min
nesota u Iowa division of the G.. &
N. w., together with the rapid de-
velopment OF the territory adjacent
to the new line will add very ma
terially to the real estate valuation
for 1900. Notwithstanding these
facts a comparison of this years
valuation with that of the previous
year shows a marked increase which
is attributable largely to the in
crease in the personal property
valuation. The following table gives
the total valuation and taxes ex
tended for the years 1898 and 1899.

$500, 600. The large number of

is due to the fact that

Cidl Statement for
1899.

1t is impossible in so short an
article to give anything like thor
ough review of the public business
of the county during the year about
to close. But believing that it
would be of interest to our readers
we have make search of the rec
ords at the court house and with
the assistance of the several county
officials, are enabled, even at this
early date, to give a pretty accur-
ate summary of the most important
features Of Redwood county's bust
ness transacted during the year
1899 1t certainly has been re-
markable year both in public and
private affairs and the records of it
speak volumes far the future of this.
one of the wealthiest counties for
it's age, within the boundaries of the
North Star State.
The conditions and prosperity of
the people are no more truthfully
shown than by their ability to dis
charge their public obligation. That
our people have been able to meet
these obligations to very large ex-
tent, we believe is shown conclu-
siyely in the figures given below.
During the portion of the year
1899 now past the receipts from all r e
sources by the county treasurer
amount to the grand total of $2O2,-
352. 25. which With the balance on
hand Jan. 1st, of $29, 1893. 46, swells
the funds which have been in the
hands of that official during the
year to 1921, 75O.71. The disburse-
ments for the same period amount
to $2O1, ,O36. 81, leaving balance on
hand of $50, 1888.
The total tax collection for the
The Redwood gazette., 1899-12-13

year 1898 were $1O6, 1874 From
Dec. 31st, 1898, to the present time
they have been $116, 951. .43 and will
reach $l2O, 900 before the close of
the year. OF this amount the town
ships have received $17, ,679 and the
SO school districts $48, $500 and
there is considerable of this money
on hand which which will be dis
tributed to them when the March
settlement is made.
OF the numerous funds of the
county the county revenue funds
is the most important. On
Jan. 1st last that fund was over
drawn 81 ,O7637, and from that date
to the present the receipts for the
fund are $4,000, and disburse-
ments $685.. in round numbers,
leaving balance to it's credit of
So, 3,245. The disbursements from
the road and bridge fund for the
same period have been $1,675, with
receipts amounting to s., 223, which,
with the balance on hand at the be-
ginning of the year, leaves balance
of 81, ,284 in that fund. The small
amount expended from the road and
bridge fund during the year is
owing to the fact that the commits
sioners knew that a new bridge
would soon haYe to be built across
the Minnesota river at North Red
wood, and it was their aim to have
sufficient funds on hand to pay cash
for it. The contract for this bridge
has been let for So, 245, as stated be-
fore in THE GAZETTE. AS result
of the judicious action of the COM
missioners in this matter, when the
bridge is completed it will be paid
for in cash and the road and bridge
fund still be in good condition.
The total disbursements from the
poor fund have been 1,764. Re-
ceipts from all resources, 81, 1872.
The balance on hand at the begin
ming of the year was 50, 1872, leaving
balance in that fund now of 50, 22O.
This large balance is due to the
fact that the old poor farm was
sold in May for 50, 200 and no part
of this amount has as vet been ex-
pended for the erection of new
poor house, though it is expected
that steps will be taken early in the
coming year to provide new asy-
lum for the paupers of the county,
which however, are very few, the
greater part of the amount expend-
ed for poor purposes being for the
assistance Of number who require
only small amount during the year,

which, added to their own earnings.
enable them to live, and for trans
tents, of which class there have
been quite a number during the
year 1899. .-..
The collections on State lands
have been exceptionally heavy this
year owing to the announcement of
State Auditor Dunn early in the
year that there would be a resale of
all state lald in the county on
which interest was delinquent The
sale was held on Nov. 1st, but there
was practically nothing to sell, and
would not have been anything if
the certificate on the forty sold had
been obtainable from the original
holder. The total collections in
this department for the year are
$77, 1892 SO. The collections in many
counties have been equally heavy.
consequently the school apportion-
ment for 1899 has been considerably
larger than heretofore. The total
amount received from the State for
distribution among the several
school districts of the county is
$12, 9SO.82, which with the additions
of fines, ETC., makes the total re-
ceipts in this fund $13.2OO.78. As
a result number of districts will
not receive any March apportion-
ment, not having voted as much
special and one mill taxes as their
apportionment would amount to.
Redemption from private individ-
uals have been comparatively
heavier than redemptions from the
State, but at the present time it is
impossible to get at the exact
amount of these without consider
able extra labor and as it will appear
in the financial statement next month
we have not attempted to get data
in this fund.
A little inquiry into the effects of
the half payment law shows that
results have not been what was ex-
pected. An examination of the 1898
tax lists, still in the hands of the
county treasurer, shows that there
are still 1900 descriptions delin-
quent and large percentage of
these are one-half paid. The first
half having been paid before June
lst and the last half having been
forgotten in many instances and in
some carelessly neglected. No doubt
much of this will be paid before Jan.
LIST, but that will not save it from ten
per cent penalty which was added
on November 1st.
Real property was not assessed
