In his foMii.il statement. Mr
Cathey has also -included an. audit of
the clerk of court's oflt.-e. 1 hi' re
port. shoVvs that total cash nceipfs of
all records, amounted to $:i8,107o,
and a cash balance on hand --f -fl
711.80 brought the total up to ?.V),
81ft.i;ti. The larpest balan e in . the- funds
of the county; on April 21 was for
schools, with over $:2.(l(l0. The sec
ond .lai-gwf - being about $28.f00 fo-
debt service. 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.

According to (J. C. Plott, county
game and fire warden, forest fires
this spring have been the worst, in this
county than in many years.
Several big fires have raged through
good stands of timber, and scores f
men have been put on the job of
lighting the blazes.
He has not made an estimate, or
assembled his data together for the
number of acres burned, he said, but
it will run into a high figure.
