The total cut from the budget by the
court was $3500, and $4300 was added
to the amount budgeted for reduction
of warrant indebtedness.
None of the items on which a fight
was expected to materialize, those for
the county agent work, health de-
partment, live stock inspector and
personal property tax collector, were
changed by the court materially.
After the court had ffffUhed it« wi­

$770,084.10 was approved.
The es-
tlmated revenue is $125,284.10, which
leaves $644,800 to be raised by taxa­

Cuts made in the proposed budget
