COUNTY EXPENSES

The county board Of commissioners
estimates that the sum Of $5S, 784.63 will
be required to pay the ordinary ex-
penses Of the county for the year COM
mencing January 1, 1914, and Of this
amount $500 will be raised from the
fines Of magistrates and the court OF
sessions, and the balance, s52,9S4.6S
must come from taxation.
For the purpose Of raising the money
the board recommends levy of 81
mills, the same as heretofore, except
last year the levy was designated In
two Jumps mills for ordinary county
purposes and II mills for bridge pur-
poses. In practical operation 1t is
found that while the II mills cannot be
used for other than bridge purposes. II
frequently happens that much of the 4
mills has to go for bridges, and there is
no use in separating the levy in any
such way as it has heretofore been
separated. The only effect Of the sep
aration is to make some taxpayers
think that they are only paying mills
for ordinary purposes, while as mat
ter of fact they are paying Sd mills all
the same. The estimates are itemized
