The County's Financial Condition.

The COunty'S FINANCIAL COndItlOus
EDITOR The BAMBERa HERALD:-The
statement made up from the Supervisors
books which appeared in your paper last
week seems to have created wrong im-
preston upon those who have claims
against the county and have been unable
to collect them promptly. That report IS
merely comparative statement of the
estimated receipts and expenditures OF
the year and does not show the financial
condition of the county. This statement
makes it appear that the county had on
hand $2,4741S on January 1, 1904, which
is not correct, and does not mention the
$2,073.35 which was paid out Of the
county funds last year to replace the
school funds which the county had used.
On January Is, 1904, there were three
notes outstanding against the county
amounting to $10,2se.5S. For the pay
ment of these notes the taxes of 1908 are
pledged and it is estimated that It will
take very near all of the taxes which will.
be collected to pay them, therefore we.
must not count on anything from the
taxes of 1908 to pay the three months
salaries Of officers for 1908 which are not,
paid, other outstanding claims against the;
county, and the current expenses for 1904.
On the 18th day of January, 1904 the
county owed $S51.75 and three months
salaries and other outstanding claims
amounting to about $1,975.00, making aI
total Indebtedness of about 50, $685. after:
all of the receipts of the county had been
applied.
Ihave borrowed from the sinking fund;
and pledged the taxes of 1904 to pay
$4,700.00 which will apply to the pays5
ment of the back indebtedr ess, outstand-s
ing claims and currentexpenses and when
this amount and the recei2 IT'S from the
dispensary and other receipts are ex-,
hausted payment will again be suspended
unless am authorized to secure another
loan. Respectfully,
JOHN F. FOLK,
County Treasurer.
