This overs the county levy, and
it must be plain that there is moth
ing in this for the building of a
cours house. OF course, in some
of the newly organized school dis
tricts where the amountof taxable
property is small and it is neces
sary to- maintain two or more
schools, she levy for school pur-
poses is necessarily high; bst then,
this is money raised for',locaB pur-
poses and is not chan yeaNe: to
money raised for general county
purposes.

This shows what the levy is and
Tor what purpose the money is
raised, This money can only be
used for the purpose that it is
levied for. The general and emer-
gency levy is for the general coun-
ty expenses, caring for poor, books
and supplies, etc. The road levy
goes for road purposes and the
bridge levy for bridge purposes.
The bond intesest is for the pur-
pose Of paying the interest on the
bonded indebtedness and the sink
ing fund is for the purpose Of re-
firing the bonds when due. The
Mclean county levy for general
county purposes in Mclean county
is not out of proportion with other
neighboring counties. The fol
lowing are the levies for county
purposes in neighboring counties
