 The City of Ozark goes into the new year with ss.00e balance to her credit. The closing out of the dispensary on December 31. took away one of the chief sources of her revenue. but the establishment Of the Dale County High School by special act of the last Legislature. abolished one of the chief objects of the expenditure of public money.
