COUNTY BALANCE
is VERY SMALL
WILL HAVE TO BORROW MONEY
ON AUGUST I, TO PAY
WARRANTS.

II will be necessary for the county
10 begin borrowing money 10 meet
the ordinary expenses by the first OF
next month. After transferring TO
the common fund the sinking fund
and the revenue receipts there is a
balance CSs-hand to the credit Of the
county a. this time only s3,O5O.24,
which will not be more than suf-
fcient. in the opinion of the Trustee,
to meet the warrants on the ordinary
account that will be issued during the
month of July. AS little of the taxes
for this year, comparatively speak
ing. will be collected until after jan
uary l, money will have to be bor-
rowed to meet the current expenses of
the county for the next four or FIVE
months
The county fund is less plethoric
than any of the others at this time,
there being better balances in all o.
the others. The balances of the sew
eral funds at this time are as follows:
County proper, $3,O5O.24; school fund,
$21,37S.95; highway, $7O71.62 bridge
fund, $4,7S6.54; special highway.
$51O29O; total, $41,39O.25.
Total tax collections of Trustee
Elem Thomas for the past year were
1892, 25619, divided among the several
funds as follows: State tax, $685.
52676; county fund, $23,761.77; school,
S3S, 05435; highway fund, $14,715S1;
bridge fund, $S,361.62; sinking fund,
81, 8S0.SS.
Funds were closely collected the
aggregate for all the accounts being
larger than the amounts called for in
the TAX aggregate. This was due to
the large collections made on the sup
Elemental or picked up roll The de-
linquent list was somewhat larger
than for the last year, but the differ
ence was more than made up in the
excess of picked up taxes.
