IMPORTANT STATEMENT
OF COUNTY'S FINANCES
Interesting Statement r esarding
Josephine County's Income
And Outlay

Editor Courier This being the
tire Of year when business men
usually take an inventory of stock it
may be of interest to know how we
stand as county.
Josephine County is unfortunate in
being large in territory and small in
wealth. Our extensive mountain
roads and numerous bridges are
necessarily expensive, aud create a
demand for labor equal to that of
counties having much greater wealth
and population.
In round numbers our assessment
this year is IS, 2O0,O00 Our estimated
expenses for the coming year which is
fixed by law and over which the
county court has no control is as fol-
lows: school fund. $24, 600; state tax,
$40, 600: interest on warrants, $1,000 ;
official salaries. $4,000; circuit
court, $4,000; elections. $1,000; making
total Of $50. 600 which must be paid
before anything else.
Our usual tax levy Of 10 mills will
bring into the county treasury sp-
proximately $75, 600. OF this amount
$40, 900, will be at the disposal
of the county court to apply
on roads. bridges. paupers, insane
examinations, juvenile commitments
and all incidental expenses.
Daring the past six years our an-
nusl road and bridge expenditures
have averaged 5000 and our pauper
expenditures $4,000. We now have a
first class county home which has cost
about $4,000, aud which will be the
means Of saving to the county at least
$1,000 year. We feel confident that
the building will pay for itself in
four years This building and the
six concrete culverts and the ~ miles
of graded road that have been made
during the past year will remain as
permanent county property. Quite a
number Of persons have suggested the
sdvisability of having the county
books expertsd. To this will say
that 1 have practically exported the
books for 10 years back myself. There
may have been some money spent in.
judiciously, bat am pretty sure that
svery dollar can be accounted for.
The above will show to any bust
ness man that in order to decrease
our county debt we must either in
crease the tax levy or suspend county
improvement.

THINKS CITY MAY OWN

Mayor Smith Believes There Is
Some Chance for Such a
Thing to Occur

Mayor ]. G. Smith informs the
Courier that there will be an adjourn.
ed meeting of the City Council Monday
evening. when the new officers will
be duly inducted into office.
But the most important feature of
the said meeting is likely to be con
ference which Messrs Morris Bros.
owners of the Rogue River Water Co. a.,
have requested with. the city fathers,
relative to coming at some smicable
adjustment OF. the trouble being exper-
fenced with regard to the ates now
being charged for city water. Mayor
Smith says no compromise will be con-
sidered, as the council firmly believes
it has the Waterloo, on the 20. i" and
that said corporation will most GER
tainly have to carry out it's agreement
with the city. He further states that
he would not be much surprised IL that
company shou d offer to sell its plant
to the city that in case it can
be had at a reasonable figure he would
favor submitting the matter to vote
Of the citiztns. He firmly believes
that the idea Of the city's having its
own water " orks system il entirely
feasible and under ordinary conditions
he would gladly favor the plan
