criminal costs, rent, coal, auditing com
mitties, litigations, legal advice. share
of district attorneys expenses, and a
thousand other items
AT present know of $500 in bills to
be settled at the Nov. 7th meeting; add
to this the election expenses and the
Peterson Bridge together with other
running expenses to date, and the two
funds under discussion will probably be
cut to under $4,000 The income of the
county is practically all collected and
very little will come in before March lst
next. So we must figure the runni ng
expenses of the county for months out
of the last named sum. And the sur
plus doesn't look SO big after all. But
there is something else we must look OUT
for. Suppose we get a $4,000 criminal
case on our hands; suppose we had been
a little less lucky with the Cray case
(that looked bad for while); or sup
pose we want to pay for set of tran
script records. Well in any Of these
cases our kickers would still kick, no
doubt, for there would be deficit to
howl about then. AS it is the Board
believes in keeping reasonable surplus
ON hand as insurance in just such posi-
bilities, just as you keep little more
hay on hand for your stock than you
actually need.
AS regards the transcripts, the matter
has been subject of correspondence for
over year. The latest development is
a new proposition which has been made
to us since the last Commissioners meet
ing and will be taken up the next meet
ing. Our chief difficulty lies in the fact
that the work is ALMOST monopoly for
one outfit in Larlmer County, and under
the circumstances it is rather difficult
to come to terms with them.

Now the Commissioners have nothing

moneys and the Town moneys, eliminate
over $4,000 from the above total Most
of the Poor Fund is a heritage from
Larimer County, and must remain in
that fund Ip other words it can be
used only for support of the poor and
remain in the fund until so used. Last
year we made very slight levy for the
Poor Fund, would not have made any
had we had few months more exper
fence in Office. This year no levy will
be made for this purpose.
So it turns out that we are reduced
