There are other resources for the
county to derive some two or three
thousand dollars, such as sale of county
certificates and interest on same. The
county treasurer last year had on hand
some $11, 100000 and this year only
some 100000. We would recommend
that the sum of S35 10000 be raised for
county tax for the next year.
The report of the secretary of state
shows that our state tax is 5,676.65
higher than last year, adding to this
the extra S5,O0O.OO in our estimate will
make our taxes $1O,7 higher than
last year, not including the special
charges against some of the towns.
