’ .- County Levy
In order to meet all the estimated
expenditures Of the County during
the year the County rate was fixed
at 9. mills, this being an increase of
% of a mill over 1935. in .1935 the
total levy was $236,272.00; in 1936, .
$257,751.2,7, an increase of $2L479** •
27. This increase was made neces
sary by an overdraft of about $7000.
from 1935, and by the higher estim- '
ated costs of.relief for this year, the ,
indigent patient account alone being*"
estimated at about $5000.00 higher
than last year.
County Highways '
At the January session the Coun
cil authorized an expenditure of 2%
mills for County roads or about $72,-
000.00 and as the Government pays
a 50% subsidy this will allow a. to
tal expenditure of about $144,000.00
