Sept. settlement on hand j. 103 81
Amount paid out. 81, 053 81
This shows amount in Trustees
hands on the 26th Of September only
Sl03 81. Hence 1t becomes necessary
for the court to make some provision
for money enough to pay the expenses
OF this court until taxes enough can
be collected, or let the warrants 60
unpaid until the Trustee collects taxes
to pay them. | suggest that the court
make order directing the clerk to issue
warrant, or the Trustee in his Off
cial capacity to give due bill for such
amount as will be necessary, and let
that order also authorize me as Coun-
ty Judge to issue green warrant for
the interest. This will keep the coun-
ty warrants off the market, with only
cost Of interest for a short time. 1t
will be shame for the warrants of a
county like Obion to be hawked about
the country, and | hope the court win
attend to the matter. have no COM
mittee reports.
