per capita for operation and main
tenance of general departments was
$14.44, and in 1917, $815. The in
terest on debt in 1890 amounted to
$3,647, 1863; and OUTLAWS for perma-
nent improvements, $14,692, 232. The
total payments, therefore, for opera
, ton and maintenance of general de-
partments, interest, and OUTLAWS
