associates, writes Mr.. Kujawa that
they will be here as soon as roads

with a capacity up to 100 tons and
work on the tailings and dumps at
the SnQwshne, They estimate ST.

According to Mr.. Kujawa the
Way-Up mine on the West Fisher

County Officials Give Interesting Doto
Regarding Operation Of County Poor Fund

Poor fund requirements in Lin
coin County at present will total
from $4,000 to $4,000 annually.
How to raise that huge sum under
present property valuations and tax
levy restrictions is becoming more
and more of a problem In an in
terview this week with County Clerk
and Recorded Schuck and the depu-
ty, Wayne Shanahan, some facts as
to poor fund administration were
brought out that are Of Importance
to every taxpayer in the County.
During the past fiscal year the
County received from the State, for
general relief, $14, 1880 The Coun-
ty also received, for the same pur-
pose, from taxes, licenses, etc,
$33,936.37, or a total of $48, 433. 87.
That is far from being enough to
cover poor fund requirements. 1t
has therefore been necessary for the
County to issue bonds, in the sum
Of $32,50000 to help make up the
deficit and to take up the outstand-
ing warrants. On July Is, 1889,
bonds in that amount, against the
poor fund, were sold. They draw 2
per cent interest, the lowest rate of
interest for which bonds have ever
been sold by the County.
But that is not the only interest
charge the County has to meet be-
cause of shortage in the poor
fund. In years time that in
terest charge, coupled with the in
terest paid each year on the poor
