the proposed new city-county
building. The infirmary is on
the budget for $19,200 and $36,
750 is provided for relief.
The juvenile office final esti

$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.

mate is $261,964.88, which must
be raised by taxation.
