ing fund $4,000
Total of all levies ....$7S,630.0O
You will note that in the above esti.
7 mate there is no mention of a fund for
county road purposes, this is %purposely
omitted, thinking that it would be best
TO let the board decide upon this item
without any suggestions on my part.
The estimate for the bridge fund
seems a trifie large, but when you take
into consideration the fact that, at the
present time, there are outstanding
warrants registered a~ggregating over
$1S,000.0 20 and that the balance of the
1914 tax will fall short of taking care
Of them, and hat the bridges which
have been built or are building this
year have as yet to be paid for, you
will readily see that the above esti-
mate will not be large if we plan to
have money to build more bridges next
year. Respectfully submitted,
f. II. Ripley, Co. Auditor.
After carefully considering the above
estimate and a general discussion in
regard as to whether or not a levy
should be made for county road pur-
poses Commissioner Davis moved that
the board make no levy for road pur-
poses this year, which motion was sec
onded by Commissioner Tollefson. The
vote stood as follows: Davis, aye; Toll
~lefson, aye; Kidman, aye and Jarvis,
no, Motion carried.
The board next passed the following
Be it Resolved, by the Board of
County Commissioners of Brookings
county, South Dakota, in regular ses-
sion assembled, that, pursuant to the
