S per cent interest so that the amount
required to pay the interest for one
year is $3.50 and as it has been your
policy to levy enough SO that there will
be an accumulation of about $4,000 a
year in the Interest and Sinking Fund
it will be necessary to make such a levy
as will bring into this Fund about Slo.-
$50 less $2500 which is the amount to
be transferred from the County Road
Fund to the Interest and Sinking Fund
The Balance on Hand in the Interest
and Sinking Fund on Sept. 1st was
1921. 81.
The expenditures in the County Road
Fund for the past fiscal year were &c.
701. 80. AS it will require $5S64 OF of
this fund to be transferred to the Coun-
ty General Fend and to the Interest and
Sinking Fund it will be necessary to
make quite a substantial levy to pay
back to these funds the amount due
them and to make what necessary i'm
provements on the roads of the county.
The balance on hand on Sept. lst in
this fund was $3293 81.
Bridge Fund disbursements during
the past fiscal year were $2343. 81. This
fund is owing the County General Fund
$4100. 03 and the County Road Fund
$40 IS making a total of s414l SO which
must be raised by tax levy it will there
for be necessary to also make such a
levy as will pay back these amounts
and to build such bridges in your judg-
ment deemed necessary. The balance
on hand in this Fund on Sept. LIST was
1885,. IS.
The receipts in the Special Salary
Fund for the past fiscal year were ST.
744 20 and the expenditures during the
same period were 81, $40 AZ. 1t will not
be difficult for you to make such a levy
ss will be required as the salaries are
all known by you and therefor, that un,
certainty which exists in the making
OF levies of Road and Bridge Funds, is
in this case absent. The balance on
hand in this fund on Sept. 1st was 500
The valuation upon which Road and
Bridge tax may be levied is S7,4S5, III.
There is a judgment. on file in the office
Of the clerk of courts and a statement
from him filed in this office. The date
Of rendering this judgment was Oct.
26th, 1914, the date date of filing this
statement is Jan. 18th, 1915. The
amount of the judgment as shown by
statement filed is SALT. "a this has been
drawing interest at the rate of Z per
cent: it will therefore require SAG s5 to
pay same in January, 1917.
In conclusion. / would say that in the
mothers pensions have been paid out of
the County General Fund, the appro.
prlation being q part of the budget or
n of the items included in such appro-
priaticn and levy. but this method has
not been satisfactory as the balance
sheet does not reveal at a glance the
amount left at any one time in this part
Of the County General Fund. / would
therefore recommend that a separate
Or special fund known as Mothers PEN
sion Fund be levied.
