COUNTY FINANCES.

A good deal has been said in one way
an d another about the financial condi-
ii on of the county. We are not in posi-
ton lust now to give the condition in
detail but few facts may be Of inter-
est to the tax payers. At the session
Of the Legislature OF 1902 the county
commissioners we're authorized to bor-
row SIS, 600 for current expenses, 80 as
to place the county IN cash basis
during the year and to pledge the taxes
Of that year for the payment Of the
loan.
The same legislature provided for the
loan from the Sinking Fund Of $4,000
for past indebtedness to be paid back
in five equal annual instalmcnts, and a
special levy of one-fourth of one mill
was provided in order to meet the an
nual payments. This provision being
part of the supply bill the county com
missioncrs did not find out that they
were authorized to secure the loan until
it was too late to have the auditor put
the levy on for that year, and as re-
suit the loan was not secured.
The Act Of 1902 reads;
'"Thc supervisor is hereby authorized
and empowered to borrow for current

SHAW SEES NO DANGER.
The Finances of the Country Are In
Good Condition, Says the
Secretary.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The annual re-
port of the secretary Of the treasury was
made public Tuesday. On the question
rotary Shaw says:
The most noticeable features In the
condition of the treasury are the In
creased available cash balances and the
increased holdings of gold. Since 1890,
the availible cash balance, including the
reserve, has more than doubled, rising
from $179.259, S37.1S to 1888, 6S6. 114.23.
The cash in the general fund increased
during the year by $30,103. S69.67. and
the liabilities increased $685. 1850.
Thus the available cash balance at the
end of the year 1903 exceeded that OF
1902 by SEC ,49S. 753.07.
Gold continues to accumulate In the
treasury. The total holdings of gold on
July 1, 1903, were 1851, APO. 7S9,43, an in
crease for the year of 81 20. 4S9 On Oc-
tober 1, 1908, the total holdings of gold
In the treasury amounted to S654 ,81f,-
TIC. Unrestricted use of gold coin and
certificates in all branches of business
and the freedom with which they are
paid into and out of the treasury have
been marked features of the treasury OPP
erations during the past year.
Secretary Shaw assures the nation that
danger Of financial cataclysm is now
past and the finances Of the country are
assuming a normal condition. He lays
stress, however, upon his belief that the
currency system must become more
elastic in order that in times Of such
financial readjustment as the country
has been passing through recently we
may not approach so perilously near to
the danger line.
He recommends that the $3.50. 000, 900
issue of bonds authorized June 20, 1902,
for the construction of the isthmian
canal be made available as a basis of
circulation on the same terms as the
bonds authorized by the act Of March
IA, 1900.
