The cost of the work. lie believes
That next year he will be able TO
60 the work with but two field
deputies which will save the coun-
ly about eight hundred dollars
from what it cost TO do The work
this year.
It is impossible to form much
of an idea as TO what the taxes
Will be and how they Will compare
with last year but from the data
at hand now it is believed that in
lspite of the expenses necessary
i'm organizing a new county, pro-
touring record books, TRANSCRIPT
ing records, providing a court
house, etc, the county and state
TAX will not be higher and will
probably be considerable lower
than it was last year.
