DETAILED EXPENSE
ACCOUNT IS
BY
COUNTY COURT
To the People of Jackson County:
In Justice to the members of the
count; court and the taxpayers of
Jackson county, we are publishing
herewith a, statement of the condi
tion of the general fund of the coun
ts hiirinet ss of July 31. 1033. which
was Just prior to Governor Meier's
appointment oi sari o. uy m
tv ludae.
The total amount In the general
fund of the budget ior iuoa
I185.054.10. During the seven months
ending July J, 1933, there was ex
pended $160,44850. With the excep
tion of S5.S08.40. a sum equal to the
entire budget for the 12 months has
been expended during the seven
months preceding July 31, 1933.
Under the most drastlo policy of
economy that Is possible It will ne
cessitate an average monthly expen
diture nf around alfi.ooo oer month
exclusive of roads In order ttiat the
county government can function for
the remaining live monins oi ine
year.
thm riAt result of this situation
will be a very large deficit at the
and of the fiscal year 1033. Inter
preted In terms of taxes, It means
that It will take several years of In-
rmmA InW tO DSV the deficit.
Although the budget estimate was
Inadequate m some instances w meet,
the obligations that were mandatory.
.- nrt. nf this deficit with
whloAi we are confronted was caused
by the conditions that prevailed dur
ing the early part of the year and
of which the publlo Is fully aware.
This statement Is not made with
the Intention of bringing up unpleas
ant memories, but to present the
facta concerning the prevailing defl
olt which every taxpayer should
know clearly at this time.

NAMPA, Idaho (UP) P. W. Lowe,
modern hand cart pioneer, and his
fsmlly of elght.-settled down In Nam
pa today on a farm to which they
had treked from Kansas City, Mo.
Lowe arrived here with his family
and household goods, after walking
the entire distance, pulling a small
toy wagon. His wife carried the
youngest of all children, being re
lieved sow and then by one of her
daughters.
The father aald he had tried un
successfully for five years to operate
a farm In Kansas and decided to move
to Idaho. Without money, excepting
what little he obtained from sale of
their furniture, Lowe and his family
started westward.
Partners here obtained a small plot
of lsnd on which Lowe hoped to make
a new start. He was given food and
clothing by neighbors and today was
apparently happy In his new surroundings.

SHOES NEEDED 10
PERMIT CHILDREN
School bells will soon be ringing
and winter days sre not many
months ahead. Which means a lot
of feet are going to have to go Into
shoes. What shoes? . . . That's the
question the managers of the Wel
fare Exchange la asking and they
want It answered soon. An appeal
for shoes and other clothing to sup
ply the shop, which opens tomorrow
on the third floor of the city hall,
waa Issued yesterday by Mlas Helen
Carlton, chairman of the exchange,
which was so successfully operated
last winter and spring.
Shoes and other clothing for chil
dren and for men are needed above
everything else this week. There are
many children who muat have shoes
for the opening of school, and they
can't afford to pay the price of new
ones. Many men with families will
also have to have new ahoes If they
continue with the little work forth
coming this season.
The opportunity to work for sup
plies, extended by the Welfare Ex
change last year, proved a very satis
factory one and many people wel
comed the opportunity to obtain aid
by paying for the same In labor.
Practically the same program will be
worked out this year with the Ex
change operating In connection with
the Jackson County Relief commit
tee. All persons with clothing, which
they nave discarded for the season,
are therefore urged to make It avail
able to persons who are less fortunate
than themselves.
The Exchange this year Is located
on the third floor of the city hail.
Persons who are unable to deliver
bundles to the Exchange are asked
to telephone 624 and they will be
called for.
