 men who will realize from busi- ness standpoint alone that county with practically $3,000,000 of ss- sessable property, bonded deht of only $3S, ,000, and cash on hand de- posted to it's various county funds to the extent of $63,00O. can and will be, run upon tax rate fifteen per cent less than it's citizens are now paying under present coud'- tions-conditiors which an imagi- nary line heretofore has, and will now, eliminate.
