abrasions," writes Mr. W. Stone, of

WAKE COUNTY FINANCES.
A Statement to the People by the
Board of County Commissioners.
To the People of Wake County:
We are candidates for a renomina
tlon to the office of County Commis
sioners, and believe that of all offi
cers a commissioner who proves true
and faithful to the' best interests of
the county and serves practically
without any compensation, Is entitled
to a second term, if he so desires.
They are usually much abused,
and rumors which have come to us,
prove that we have been no more
fortunate than others In this respect.
We feel, however, that certain of our
actions have been misrepresented for
the purpose of affecting the minds of
the voters and these critclsma we
desire to answer!
We have been criticised as extrav
agant managers and the report has
been circulated that we went Into of
fice with a large fund In the treas
ury and are now in debt.
This board went Into office Mon
day, December 3, 1906, and accord
ing to the annual statement made,
as required by law, by the clerk of
the board and published in the News
and Observer December 15, 1907, the
following facts will appear:
Amount in the hands of
treasurer county fund $ 2,080.07
Road fund .. .. .... .... 2,803.36
Total.. .. .. .. .. 4,883.43
This amount it might appear to a
casual observer was the fund we had
on band to begin business with, but
IT also appears irom mis same Biaie
ment that there were accounts audit
ed by the previous board and outstanding-December
3, 1906 .. ..f 7,822.33
There have also been aud-
ited by this board for
expenses incurred prior
to , their entrance Into
office, ........ .V . . 4,242.55
To which should be added
contract for the Law
rence Bridge, made by
previous board, calling
for payment of .... 3,3 2.00
former administra
tion ...... .. ..$15,436.81
From which, however,
should be deducted bal- '
ance In hands of treas
urer at beginning of our
administration .. .. .. 4,883.43
Leaving instead of a large
fund a legacy of debts
amounting to $10,653.45
; We respectfully refer you to the
records which the chairman, or reg
ister of deeds, will cheerfully ex
hibit to, any interested citizen. We
say these things not with any desire
to open up old matters, but in jus
tice to ourselves.
There is also a matter in connec
tion with the Lawrence Bridge,
which will show thatTw, have not
wasted the people! moaay. This
contract was let tok bridge company,
September, 1906; at the price tf 33,-
372.00. They not having compiled
with their contract, the board took
the matter up and succeeded in get
ting a bid from the same company
for this bridge, according to the
same plans and specifications for the J
sum of 13,000.00, and by making
some few changes, re-let the contract
at $2,825, thereby effecting a saving
of $547.00 on one bridge at the hands
of the very company to which the
contract was first let. A saving
equally as great was also made In
the cases of the Powell and Boyce
bridges.
At one time we were criticised for
selUng certain second mortgage bonds
of the Raleigh and Pamlico Sound'tne bankrupt's estate, after due ad
Railway Company, held by Raleigh vertisement of the same according to
township at the price of 75.
The bonds are now worth
less and Raleigh town
ship saved ..... . ... . .$26,038.53
Mark's Creek township
saved 8,00.1.00
St. Matthew's township
saved. ... . . .. 5.000.00
No criticism is heard of late.
The taxes, which these bonds car
ried, have also been removed in
Mark's Creek and St.
attnew 3 1
township, and each has a fund in
bank to its credit, the first $1,138.93,
and the second $673.13.
In Raleigh township this tax is re-
duced to one cent (1) on the $100
and the sinking fund has to Its credit:
$30,778.32. I
We know that we have been rep-
resented as being connected with the'
road board, and misrepresentations (
made as to the facts. We desire to
state that we are in nowise respon
sible for or connected with this
board, we unanimously opposed Its 1
creation, proof of which we will fur
nish any one on request; we have
never been and are not now, in fa
vor of the act, but favor Its abolish
ment. We have, however, done all
we could to make its administration
a success, borrowing money for it,
and paying for two steel bridges
across Neuse river, the burden of
which we could have shifted upon It.
We did this because the people were
entitled to all we could do to help in
the way of good roads. We have
also borrowed money for the Board
of Education in order to tide th;m
over an emergency.
We think that it is well known
that great Improvements have taken
place in the affairs at the County
Home.
In spite of serious decreases in our
revenue, for which we are in no man
ner responsible, we have reduced
taxes in Raleigh, St. Matthew's and
Mark's Creek townships, and after
paying the debts Of a former admin
istration, amounting to $10,553.45
and for two steel bridges costing $5,
310.49, had on hand June 1st, 1908,
$5,035.39.
Since June 1st we have found it
necessary to borrow $5,000.00 to
cover the necessary expenses during
the summer, when no taxes are com
ing in. This debt will be easily taken
care of. All of which we submit for
your consideration.
