There are many items that could be referred to of special interest to bles; but by a compariscn of the ex-| pend itures and liabilities for 1809, the last year of the Republican tration, with that of the u board, the superior ie board cf cominisel ly shown, In 1869 the total $64 013 the bills contracted ae 56, liabilities and outstanding $77,060.92. During the year 1900, expenditures were §62 502 04, liabilities $0,296.40, making a total $71,728.44. The $61,061.41, and the liabilities $4,191 85, making a total of $65 25326 expenditures and duced from last year of Republican management, shows a reduction of $11,507 62. The above comparisons are brief and yet have a profound meaning. Tax- payers study them, The tax duplicates have been col- lected closely, which is a credit to both thie collectors and cornmissioners. This was pot the case in 1590.
