COUNTY
BOARD
ESTIMATE
THE RUNNING EXPENSES
OF THE COUNTY FOR
FISCAL YEAR $14O,342

Making up the budget upon which
to derive funds for running the coun
ty for the forthcoming fiscal year be-
ginning July LIST and also to take
care of the bonded Indebtedness and
interest was finally completed by the
board of county commissioners today.
It took a week of strenuous work
on the part of the commissioners to
complete the estimate. The knife
was freely used in slashing salaries
cutting down running expenses and
eliminating deputies.
The commissioners finally decided
to proceed no further in the matter
of calling an election to vote bridge
bonds, and in lieu thereof, made a
road and bridge levy to Offset it, The
road and bridge levy made for this
year is in excess of that of last year.
This was necessary on account OF
the heavy loss of bridges sustained
by the county by the floods Of this
spring.
The total amount needed to run
the county this year as estimated by
the commissioners is $10,342 Last
year the estimate was $1G9,12 a diff
ference in favor Of this years esti-
mate of $2S,77S.
Elsewhere in this issue will be
found the estimate in full.
