1t is really to be regretted that
so few citizens who pay taxes and
should keep themselves informed
as to the financial condition of
the county, read carefully the
financial statement as prepared
each year by the county auditor
and published for the informa-
tion of the public. The state law
requires that this publication be
made so that all taxpayers may
know exactly what disposition
has been made of the public
funds. Every item of expendi-
ture and for what specific pur-
pose paid out is set forth in de.
tail in the statement. Every tax.
payer should inform himself of
the manner in which the public
business is transacted by read
ing carefully the compiled fig
ures given in these annual re-
ports. County Auditor Wilmann
has this year prepared one of
the most complete documents
showing the receipts and dis
bursements of the county that
has ever been submitted for pub
lie inspection.
It is arranged in a manner that
every intelligent reader can read
lily understand. The many class
iticatiOns are so presented as to
make every fund clear to anyone
looking through it. It is an ad-
mirable compilation and Mr..
Wilmann is to be congratulated
upon the intelligent manner of it's
preparation and it's completeness
in detail. The statement was
turned over to the printer in
March and as it was a lengthy
document it has taken some time
to put it into type for our read
ers.
The Pioneer here presents
some figures taken from the pre-.
pared copy for the general in
formation of it's readers through
out the county.
During the past year the total
expenditures for the county for
all purposes and interest on
county bonds was $780,, ,4O4.98.
This includes county revenue,
road and bridge, poor, incidental
and county attorneys contingent
funds, all state and school taxes.
Tax collections for all purposes,
which includes state, school,
county, township and village was
$191, ,O35.62. There was received
from liquor licenses $3,56O; game
licenses $252; interest on deposits
$1519.19; nomination fees 1892.
There was paid to the Bel.
trami county's contribution to
Minnesota $22, ,23019; paid to
school districts, ,$72, ,26l.28; towns
and villages, $26, ,958.13; refunded
