This paper was received with attention
by the Farmers Convention. and on motion
Of Mr.. E. ]. Barker. 1t was resolved that
county papers be requested to publish it
in full, and the secretary was directed to
send copy to each Of the papers.
l herewith transmit it to you. There is
no question that such information should
be more widely disseminated in the coun-
ty. There are hundreds of taxpayers who
never see a county statement. hundreds
more who will not take the trouble to hunt
out the meaning of such statements. and
the amount of misinformation in circula-
ton is simply astonishing to any partially
informed citizen. much more so to one
fully in touch with the finances of the
county.

In connection with the financial

turned during the year and should
