RICHLAND COUNTY N SAYS THE COLUMBIA Under glaring headlines the Columbia Record of recent daie prints the following story of Richland county finances. According to the story the county faces a prospect of being compelled to sell its road machinery and - turn its convicts over to the penitentiary. Read the article below: * ' "Richland county is nearly "broke" but the legislative delegation has provided a way out, and if the tax collecting official^ can collect enough back taxes, the county may be able to pull through the year without having to sell its road machinery and turn its convicts over to the state penitentiary. The county's financial situation has >been arranged this week, with the signing by the legislative delegation of a resolution, authorizing the use of a part of the unpledged proceeds of the collection by execution or other process of a large amount of uncollected back taxes, when collected. The county's busted condition came before the delegation at a meeting last Friday, when the resolution was offered. statement filed then by the county commissioners showed that the> county had on September 1, a balanceileft from 1921 appropriations of only about two thousand dollars, with the rest of the year to run. The statement filed by the county commission'shows that following expenditures: Day and contract labor ....$7,940.00 i Lumber for bridges on ' roads 6,385.94 Mules bought 8,057.00 Mule feed 7,440.00 Clothing, shoes & Bedding i rr.. v 3,117.51 Supplies for guards and prisoners .. . r .. .'.t 6,096.51 Tools, road machines, x wagons, blacksmith work and harness 7,683.02 Salaries for managers & guards 10,280.79 Tents 1,480.19 Repairs to trucks and gas.. 9,513.37 Total : $67,995.31 ,' For these county purposes, the legislative delegation appropriated, in the 1921 county supply bill, $70,000, leaving, according to the statement of the. county commission, a balance on Sep ' tember 1, of $2,004.69. The statement also shows that part of the reason for the high cost of operating the county's affairs has been the establishment this year of a new chain gang, one for white men. In years gone by the white county prfs/ -oners were sent to the state penitentiary. There were three gangs, for colored men. This year there were foiy1?angs, one additional for white men. Where the Money? The resolution adopted by the dele gation shows that there is a total not pledged to any county purposes.

This will be contingent upon its collection by the sheriff, in whose hands are executions for the total amount. The county treasurer is authorized to pay wararnts up to a total of $15,000, out of the back taxes to be collected, for the county purposes this year. The resolution of the delegation shows that unless the money is proided the county will be forced, before the year, is over, to sell its road machinery and live stock, and to turn its convicts back to the state, which would entail heavy loses for the future. The delegation also agreed, in all resolution, to put into the 1922 'county, supply bill, an item sufficient to cover whatever deficit may arise for the operation of the courts of general sessions and common pleas for Richland county next yeah The court money ran out this year. ' < t The delegation also agreed, in a 'put an item in the supply bill for next year to cover a deficit of $600, which is apaprent for the sheriffs 'contingent fund, used for transporting prisoners. Due to heavy work along this line this year, this fund has been i exhausted, and it needs augmenting. '?Columbia Record. [ Artistic job printing promptly executed at The DispatchfNews office.
