AIKEN FINANCES IN
GOOD CONDITION
Auditors Annual Statement Shows
Fund of County and School To-
tails S95, ,S9S.59.

Aiken, Aug. 16.-The county audi
tor has just finished his annual
statement, which he has furnished the
county treasurer, for the fiscal year
1912. The statement is a remarkable
one, and shows Aiken county finances
to be in the best. of condition.
The balance in the great county
fund is S41,S90.20, and the balance
in the school fund is s54,OO3.3S. These
two items make a total of S95,S93.59.
This is indeed fine statement and
perhaps Aiken county is in better con-
dition than any other county in the
State. And, too, the tax levy is only
2 1-2 mills, as low as any county in
the State.
A notable fact in the expenditures
shows that this county has spent S72,-
244.O5 on the roads of the county dur
ing the past year.
This county is blessed with fine
set of business men for county Off
GERS, and the splendid showing of the
county finances are in a large meas
ure due to them.
