only $2042.14 / would not think it advis-
able to make a levy for the insane fund.
We have at the present time $14,-
436. 70 in the interest and sinking fund,
a / mill levy will pay the interest on
bonds outstanding and also pay off $780,
600 in bonds outstanding which are op
tional. would therefore recommend
that our honorable board levy l mill
for interest and sinking fund.
There is now outstanding bridge fund
warrants in the sum of 81, $751; %, this
amount and the bill which come in soon
for the bridge in process of construction
will all be paid off by the middle of De-
cember; it therefore, makes it necessa-
ry to levy only such amount as will pay
for the bridges you will probably build
during the ensuing year.
There is on hand in the county road
fund the sum of $6148. IS and your ex-
penses during the past year in this fund
were only $500. 43, it would therefore
seem that a levy of q mills would be
sufficient.
The expense in the special salary fund
for the past fiscal year was $11, 1872. 76
! and the receipts into this fund outside
of those received from taxes were
$2712. IS. leaving a balance of $S670.11
to be provided for by levy. This amount
will require a levy of 8 mills.
AS you are required to levy a separate
road tax on unorganized townships, if
a general road tax has been levied on
all property and as the valuation in the
unorganized portion of the county is
about So, $50, 900 a IS mill levy on the
unorganized portion would bring into
the road fund about 81, 140, this with
the $2,2 $50 which would be raised by the
general road levy of q mills would give
the road fund about So, $780,, this with
the amount on hand will, l think give
you as much as will probably be needed
in this fund.
