The smallest from which the heaviest demands w ill be made, according to Mr. Cathev. is the poor fund, with abnut $2,000 balance, and two months to run in this year. The original $1,100 set out in the budget for roads has not been touch ed, according to the statement. It is the onlv fund from which no expen ditures have been made. This $1,100 is an accumulation of funds received in taxes which have been collected for years prior to 1932. at which time the state took over all roads. Mr. Cathev stated that the money in this fund would li-kelv be used to apply on debt service. As col lections are being pushed on delin quent taxes as far back as 1027. this fund is steadily, growing.
