No Bond Fund Needed The final estimate figure of $633,840.82 is slightly over $28, 000 less than was budgeted last year, the principle difference being in that last year $64,000 was set aside for bond sinking funds and no money will be needed for that purpose this year.

The infirmary is on the budget for $19,200 and $36, 750 is provided for relief. The juvenile office final esti mate is $9340, which is about $1500 more than last year, but some $5000 less than the amount the juvenile officer requested for his department. The county health department and isolation hospital are on the budget for $43,525, of which $29,637.50 will be raised by county taxes. The remainder comes from other agencies. The county fair fund is ex pected to take care of itself, be ing down on the budget for $15, 885, and the anticipated receipts come to the same amount. The budget calls for a $1500 live stock and washing shed, revamp ing of the sales arena, new bath and toilet building, a dump truck, new fire equipment and regular maintenance and eeneral expenses. Estimated income in cludes $4500 receipts and $1200 rentals. Taxes For Road Fund The road fund's $26,430 Is to be raised by taxation. The road department is down for $380,930 for all work and expenses, but $354,500 of that amount will come from transfer of a post war sinking fund, cash on hand, sale of timber and other sources of income. For county schools the esti mate is $261,964.88, which must be raised by taxation. The budget was drawn up by County Judge U. E. Reeder, Commissioners John R. Reber and Fred L. Pope, with the bud get commission of E. M. Ham mond, Alfred Collier and R. P. Ellingson Sr. The county levy ing board will decide how the tax money is to be raised.
