/. Comfy Supervisor F. J. D. Fielder,
With the assistance Of his efficient
clerk. NJ. e. Zeigler, lEq.. has COM
pleted an estimate of The amount OF
r,oney that will be required to run
the county for the current year.
Which has been forwarded to Comp
:roller Gereras Jones In accordance
with law. Re estimates that 1t Will
take $4,000 to meet the various
items Of expense that will have to be
incurred by TIE county during the
year. Supervisor Fielder says the
estimate Is very nearly what will be
required as 1t has Teen made up
very carefully. -,
He says the estimate Ia based on
the expenditures of the county for
the past year, and on this the calcu-
lation was made as to what. would
be necessary for, the current year.
1t is made out item by item, all tho
different departments of the county
government being estimated for sep
arately, and in this way it Is claimed
that the estimate will be found to be
more nearly correct than heretofore.
The exact lyures Of the estimate is
ss0,4a0, which is pretty good sum,
but it seems to be down to the low
est notch.
It is estimated, taking the past
year as a guide, that there will be
raised in the county through other
sources than by taxation. the sum
OF sic, 500. which will come from
fines imposed by magiutrates, licenses
and the Communication tax. This $15,-
500 is to be deducted from the $780,
400 estimated for, which would leave
s64,8O0 to be provided >for by tax
alton, unless some other provision Is
made to meet back Indebtedness OF
$4,000. Deduct this amount and
$4,000 is the amount to be raised
by taxation. To do this Supervisor
Fielder, in his report to the Comp
troller General, recommends a levy
of not less than 6M mills for county
taxes.
In order that the public may un-
derstand exactly where the money
goes, the following estimate OF ex-
penses for each, item is given:
For County Auditor, $525.
For County Commissioners, Super
visor and Clerks salary. $4,000.

but that what he did ask was that
the board simply hold up action and
not dismiss the matter as final until
Il could look further into the situa-
tion- He, like Representative Lever,
went into the matter at some length
and begged the board to seriously
consider the facts Laid before It to-
