The board of county commissioners
has made its annual report for the
year, and it shows that it has han
died well the business of the county
during the past twelve months. I'm
usual expenses have had to be met by
vote of the people, though the eXpen--
ditures have been judiciously made
and the accounts kept down to the
lowest point. The high cost of food
and material with the addition made
by the interest account all adds to the
county expense for the year The adj
dition to the New London courthouse
has been completed and the entire
job, includin the furnishing, was
done $1,000 under the sum allowed
for the purpose. The county voted
$4,000, but the commissioners COM
pleted the big task for the sum of
S48S20.12 The county year closed
September 80, and the accounts show
that the sum of $110,091.16 was han
died during the year. That was the
amount of receipts during the twelve
months, it being necessary to borrow
money to meet the extraordinary ex-
penses. The disbursements were $685.

ury October 1 of $16.213.01 against
$5,925.52 a year ago. During the year
a note for $16,146.62 was paid off. The
Indebtedness of the county is $91, S2012
which is represented by three notes
at 4 1-2 per cent, the first being for
the cost of the New London court
house remodeling, the second of $4,000
for the addition to the courthouse here
and the third of $4,000 for extraor-
binary expenses of the county. The
note paid during the year was for the
expense of remodeling the Norwich
jail.
The receipts for the year included
S1364217 for board of prisoners of
which $2.602.S4 was from the earnings
of the prisoners. From the county tax
$35,S94.43 was received, while loans
amounted to about $4,000.
