This leaves a little over SIS. :
900 to pay all other expenses,
such as salaries of officials.
maintenance of the Jail, and
other items. The levy will be
published next week and will
show in detail the county
expenditures.
Included in the levy this year
is $4,000 for additions to the
Snow Hill High School, made
necessary by crowded condition
of the school, also -, 500 to pro-
vide steam heat for the POGO
moke City school.
1t was very gratifying TO the
Messenger that the County
Commissioners have managed
so well that they can do all
these things and more, and yet
reduce the levy to 81 cents. 1t
is equally gratifying to know
that it will certainly be reduced
again next year.
We have careful and pains
taking Board of Commissioners
who honestly represent the
county. They are neither waste
full nor penurious. but conduct
the affairs of the people as they
would their own In fact the
affairs of no county in the entire
State are more economically
administered than are the
affairs of Worcester County.

The County Levy.

The County Commissioners
were in session last Tuesday
and struck the levy for 1911.
The rate this year is placed at
sac, which is Is cents less than
it was last year. The Messenger
predicted when the levy was
struck last year, and had to be
raised to a dollar because of
increased teachers salaries,
that it would be very much
lower this year; and such is
the case. 1t takes about eighty
thousand dollars a year to
defray the expenses of Worces-
ter County and this is consider
ably less than a majority of the
counties the size of Worcester.
A great many of the taxpayers
will be surprised TO learn that
over sixty thousand dollars of
the money thus levied goes to
seven items in the levy over
which the Commissioners have
no control, and are bound to
levy the amount necessary to
meet the requirement of each
case. The items referred TO are:
