HOW THE COUNTY STANDS.

LOW IIE SOONL ~ ANDSs
For some time past considerable
comment has been made as to the
finances of the County Commis-
sioners office. This criticism does
not come entirely from partisan
sources and it demonstrates that
friendly interest is being felt by promi
nent taxpayers, regardless of party
affiliation, in the finances of the
Board. Considering that the time
the levy is closed, would be opportune
to make fair and frank statement
as to how the county's finances ac-
tually exist, we have made apersonal
investigation of the books and pre-
sent to our reads the result of the
labor. We consider this entirely ac-
curate and should it not be so we
court a correction for it is only fair
that the taxpayers should know how
every dollar of their money has been
expended.
There has been a fiction in the
Board for years past that the road
money should be levied one year in
advance and it has been the aim of
the Commissioners to comply with
this requirement. 1t has been urged
as a good that the most effec-
tual work can be done on our high
ways by the farmers, by working
heroads during the months of April
and Nav, when other matters do
not claim their attention, and
therefore it is we'll to have the
money in hand as the proceeds
of the succeeding levy are not
accessible for two or three months
and the county would be compelled
to either borrow the money or else
not pay their DlllS.
A few years back the road fund
was inact and there was $4,000
standing to the credit of our high
ways. Whether or not other
accounts had been overdrawn it is
impossible to say for the books do
not show it. Succeeding years have
gradually dissipated this amount of
money and as far back as the year
1900 the road account had been over
drawn S13, ,232.14. In 1901 $685.
500 was levied and $50, 1868. 40 was
spent, which made an additional
overdraft that year of S6,S63.42,
making a total on May 1st, 1902 of
S2O,O95. .56. This money has been
gradually expended in different ways
and the county has been the gamer.
No one charges thata single dollar of
it has not been accounted for as the
vouchers on file account for each
amount used and specific citems which
could be readily named go to make
up large portion of the sum.
1t was question of policy with
the County Commissioners, when the
levy was closed on Monday, whether
or not it would be better to fix the
tax rate at an amount sufficient to
replace what had been spent of the
surplus, and they deemed it unwise
to draw from the taxpayers in a
single bulk this large sum of money
which would lay in bank until next
spring. 1t was their best Judgment
that the money would be safer in the
peoples pockets than to the credit of
the county, as past experience has
proved that with money i'll hand the
temptation is quite strong to spend
it. 1t will require strict care and
economy for the Commissioners to
successfully conduct this years busi.
ness on the amount of money that
they have appropriated and the same
question that now confronts them,
will stare them in the face on the first
day Of next May.
We give below a recapitulation of
the fund to be provided for in the
levy of 1902:

THE COUNTY TAX RATE
The County Commissioners at
their meeting on Monday fixed the
tax rate for 1902 at S5 cents on the
500. At this rate the basis will
yield $124,S73.O3. The principal
items levied for are, commissioners

and printing, 81 900; ferries, $3.50;
hospitals, So, 500; road tax, first dis
trict, $4,000; second district, So, 200;
THIRD district, Sc, 500; fourth district,
Sc, 500; fifth district, Sc, 500; making
a total of $27 700; public schools,
$44, 900; county physicians, $500;
coal, $500; pensions, So, 81 I; inquests,
$175; elections, So, 800; Circuit Court,
$4,000, magistrates, $4OO; con-
tingent fund, 81 ,5OO;j Jail and sheriff 5

Making total off,. $124, ,973.03
From the above rate it will be seen
that the Commissioners have levied
very close to the actualestimated ac-
count. They have also cut the schools
down Sc, 900 and will have to exer-
else close economy to get through on
the rate that they have adopted.
1t is a well-known fact that the
Commissioners cannot control many
of the county expenses except the
roads and public schools. There are
certain fixed charges that must be
paid according the law and the Board
has absolutely no discretion except
to pay bills.

out by County Treasurer Wells as
rapidly as possible and we call the

and the present levy as can be seen
makes no provision for the money
with which to replace it.
