No Concrete Bridges Are Con.
templated and Some Funds
May be Reduced by Fiscal
Court in New Budget.

From a preliminary calculation of
the amount of money needed to run
the county next year 1t is believed
that 1t will be possible to reduce the
county tax rate a few cents. The
fiscal cour has not discussed the tax
rate yet. as the budget is not made
out until the April meeting. but
some of the magistrates believe that
tax rate of 6S cents on the 500
valuation will not be necessary to
meet the expenses.
The county assessor has not added
the total of the increase in the valu
II is estimated that there will be an
increase of several thousand dollars.
This will bring more taxes to the
county, and permit the rate to be re-
duced. The sinking fund will not
require as liberal apportionment
owing to the fact that already there
is $4,000 in the fund for the pur-
pose of meeting the obligation of
bonds amounting to $15O,O0O which
will be due in 1913. During the
three years before the bonds are due
IL will be an easy matter to secure
the remaining $4,000.
The county will be economical in
the construction of roads this sum-
ner. although il is hoped to increase
the mileage of gravel roads. No con-
concrete bridges will be built, and
1t is thought that the road and
bridge fund can be taken care of
with a smaller apportionment. The
schools will demand more money, 1t
is believed. as the board has the
county High school under construc-
ton, and numerous expenses have
been increased. At present the di-
vision school boards are meeting for
the purpose of determining the
amount of money necessary for the
next school session.
II is thought that the pauper
fund will have to be increased as
for several years it has come out
with a deficit.
Should the county decide not to
establish fund for the erection of
new Jail or provide for any ex-
rensive public Improvements it is
calculated that the county tax rate
may be reduced anywhere down
from the present rate to 62 cents.
