$37,5GO.71

Total $37, ,5GO.71
These items are all approximated
except the first and two or three
others, but Gre accurate generally.
The Auditor has furnished me
with a statement estimating the
amount we will collect from the levy
this fall as follows:
Ordinary county s 9,12982
Past Indebtedness 3,649 90
Rebuild bridges 2433.28
Sinking fund 364993
Support of convicts 3041.GG
Total $21,9O3 60
If all this is collected and paid out
on the debts we will still be owing
$15,657 90, most of which will be to
the Sinking Fund, but we have yet
the expenses for the balance of this
year to meet and we do not know
what they will be until the year ends
And again, we cannot apply all of
the levy of ordinary county to the
payment of debts contracted this
year if they amount to that much,
because the law requires the salaries
of all the county officers to be paid
monthly, and this should be held
back out OF this years taxes to pay
next years salaries.

Financial Condition Of the County.

When I came into Office January
1901 after paying out oil the money
collected from taxes of 1900 the coun-
ty still owed $G,363 25. We had to
borrow money to pay the salaries of
the officers and such other expenses
as had to be met.
The following is q correct state.
ment of the indeb tedness of the
comfy 2lst of July, 1904, as the
books will show:
Claims of 1901 unpaid 5 204 .26
Claims of 1902 unpaid 2.621,97
Claims of 1908 unpaid 6,001.26
Claims of 1904 anpaid
July %, 5003. .97
Due Sinking Fund 15716.26
Aaron Boggs, 3 notes, 7,373.09
II. +. Smith, note, $4,000
Total debt, $37,5G0.71
The bridges that were washed
away last year cost to replace them
between $4,000 and $4,000.
From the $4,000 borrowed from
the State In 1902 we paid back
loan of 81, 4,22355 which had been
made to our predecessor, then we
paid out for claims on the books up
to that time $4,000 to $4,000, for
the jeil $4,000, aud the balance was
used to pay current expenses.
The levy Mt no time since we have
been in Office has been sufficient to
meet the expenses, and an indebted.
ness has accumulated every year i'll
consequence thereof. The bridges
and lumber items during our tenn
of Office has been exceedingly heavy
But some of the things which can
be briefly stated to show for this in.

CAN'T CONFISCATE. GUNS.
The proposed ordinance to forfeit to the
city all weapons taken from prisoners at
the city jail was unfavorably reported by
the police committee, and the report was
adopted The scheme was to have it fixed
so that the police could confiscate revol-
Xers and then sell them to members of
the police force. 1t was a measure pro-
posed by Chief McCollum for the purpose
of legalizing the confiscation of WEAPON
Which has been a common practice at po~
lice station. City Attorney Spencer holds
that the police have no right to retain
possession of weapons any more than
they have right to retain the bicycle of
a man arrested for riding on the side
walk
