MONTANA COUNTIES
FINANCES IN BEST
CONDITION SINCE 16
BOzeman Man Makes Report In
Recent Circular - Compares
Surplus To One Time Debt

Bozeman, July 81. Montana's
county governments are in the best
financial condition they have been
in for the last 80 years, says H. G.
Halcrow of the department of agri-
cultural economics and rural socio-
logy at the Montana agricultural
experiment station in a new cir
cular, Montana County Finances at
the End of the War: 1945."
To prepare the circular Halcrow
studied the annual reports of coun-
ty clerks and recorders to the state
examiner. The present surplus he
found of over $3,943,OO0 is far diff
ferent from the net debt of over
$23 100000 as of June. 80, 1922.
By maintaining tax levies at a
level high enough to meet expendi-
lures, at least during periods of
income, and supporting
sound credit policies and encourag-
ing a high standard of perform
ance in the public service, Halcrow
said that Montana county govern
ments can maintain their favorable
financial position and meet the
service demands of the people.
Such steps will be necessary, he
said, because the problems facing
The governments may become more
complex. For one thing, he pointed
put, tax levies have been decreasing
and income from collection of de-
inquent taxes is falling off. In
addition, income from sales and
,ent of tax deed lands is expected
decline as more of these lands
'evert to private ownership.
