Oconee s f inancial fondit ion To the Boonie of Oconee County: Following is a statement ol' the financial condition of Oconee county, to wit: The annual settlement of my office was made hy the Comptroller (?ene ral, Carlton W. Sawyer, July 2 7th. 1916, and he said that my records were well kept and that the. county was in good financial condition. That all claims against the county as audited have been paid, and on the date of that settlement, I had to my credit, as Supervisor, a little over SEVENTEEN THOUSAND DOL LA BS IN CASH to run tho county until taxes come due this fall. There is no indebtedness that has been created against the county which is not paid since I took charge on January 1st, 1913. It is true that this county owes a bonded in debtedness of $20,000, but that was placed on this county in the year 1904, to the amount of $45.000. I paid off $15,000 of this in 1914. The balance falls due in two equal in stallments of $15,000 each, one-half on July 1. 1924, and the other on July 1. 1924. In each and every year, Oconee county, as well as all other counties of the State, and also the State It self, have to borrow money in the spring to run them until the taxes are paid. This has always been done in this county, and will continue to he done that way, because the coun ty ls not on a cash basis. The last Legislature authorized the Treasu rer and myself to borrow $Sf>,0 00 to run on this year. We obtained this money from the Bank of Wal halla al 5 |ier cent interest-tho lowest rate the county has over had to pay. Last year tito county bor rowed $2 5,000 at 6 per cent, and lt was paid off when the note fell due In January. The amount so borrow ed this year will be paid off next January. The taxes for 1916 will yield over $15,000. So this loan cannot really he called a debt against the county, because that is Just the way the county does busi ness. THERE HAS BEEN NO RKA'L INDEBTEDNESS created against thc county since I took charge of this office. Last year ? spent about ten thousand dollars more than the pre vious year, but that was on account of 160 brldgCB being washed away by the freshet. I paid this big loss without putting the county in debt one cent above the levy and income. I have never spent more money in any year than the levy and amount of taxes for ordin?r) purposes. The county's financial condition to-day is tho best it has ever been W. C. FOSTER, Supervisor Oconee County. Walhalla, Aug. 15, 1916.-Adv. Summer Tim Now is the time the dreaded FLY. Sc: in time.
