' That the^Oounty Government has been administered extravagantly "
and without any regard for income is the inference one would draw. KIn
1810 and 11 the expenditures were greater than receipts by more pl<
than $1,000.00. For 1811 and 19 the expenses have been greater by be
$8,505.48, add t^iis the amount saved in fees from County offioes D1
and there would have been a deficit of $5,827.97. ^
The total reoeipts from all sources for the year ending Kay 31st, b(
1912 Were $41,717.52, this includes fees from offices. Total expenditures
far the same period were $45,223.00, th
Belpw are some of the items appearing in the expense account of ***
the county*. ' ^
Interest on borrowed money and bonds foy the year $5,848.49 or M
about $500' per rath. be
County bridges have float for the year $2,529.66 with an additional
/ $1,087.63. Spent on roads and bridges making a total cost to the county
for rtwufc snd hridgre $8t$27.09 and this does not include any oost of ^
chaUgang. ti.
The county jail has Aflat $1,478.21. The County Home has 12,- tr
>97.88 charged for its maintenance (with a proper system it would a*
and thftnld he self sustaining). -The Court House has oost $62.74 to "
kasa.it in snA EXCELLENT condition. Outside poor has oost the
couaty $2,lWW.nJ (ttd kherc are people '6n~ the pay roll who are well
able to earn a Irving in some way).
For the listing and assessing of taxes for the year 1811 the county "
paid a total of $2,095.08. ... "
For pauper"oafflW$250.17 wns added^o the" list, '
For the oonvict fopee $4,910.88. (Here's the cause for the deficit b?
sai vcart.
For Superintendent of Health $887.17.
for Pan tege Drainage district $160.00 86
For establishing the dividing line between Beaufort and Washing- m
ton Counties $087.45. x C<
In addition to the items above named the county owes $87,600.00 Qi
bonded debt and $21,000.00 borrowed money or floating debt &
with the floating debt increasing from $3,500.00 to $7,000.00
per year. It's an easy matter to figure where the end will
ha. th
Twelve years ago the county owed $1,250.00 bonded debt with no
floating debt It had money to pay all its obligations and in a short
time had the management been continued it would have retired the 11
$12,500.00 in bonds. Ll
What have we or the additipnal $75,000.00 now saddled on the pcopie.
The building of thp new bridges' showed incompetency of the Board
of the rankest kind. Somebody had a pull.
k* The Legislature of 1911 authorized the sale of an issue of $35,000. lo
pay off the floating debt, they have not been sold yet. Ask the ie,
