REVENUES OF PAST YEAR

] A bill has been introduced in the Kan
sas legislature to enable the county COM
missioners to issue bonds TO the amount
of $4,000 to pay the deficit liz the coun-
tvs funds The bin was introduced by
| Representative Adams.
| For some years the receipts Of the
| county were not enough to pay the run
ming expenses. During the hard times
a few years ago the taxes on great deal
| OF property were not paid. and the COM
| missioners could not allow bills.
| Within the past year or two the people
have been paying their taxes regularly
and there has been NO cause for the sale
OF but a few small patches OF property
on account OF non-payuent Of taxes.
The revenues of the county are enough
at present to pay all OF the current ex-
penses and leave a respectable balance
in the treasury. The commissioners have
shown a desire TO run the county's af-
fairs on the most economical basis. and
under this rule the county will have more
tina enough TO pay its expenses.
But there is deficit Of something over
$4,000 staring the commissioners in the
face. Part OF this could have been avoid
ed few years ago, but the greater part
was for necessary expenses in the days
when the revenues were not so great as
at present. The deficit was made and the
commissioners want to clear UP all ac-
counts and have everything in first class
shape and ther is 70 doubt but that the
county can be run on its present income
and leave something in the treasury from
now on if the bonds are issued, to clear
all accounts.
A part of the balance from the current
expense account will have 10 be set aside
for the payment of these bonds. and II
is thought that they can be paid in a
few years, and the fact is well estab
iished at the present time that the bonds
will not cost the taxpayers a penny.
