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. The
resolution authorizes as much as $15,WATCH

; for the rest of the year, if so much be
necessary. 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

to cover whatever deficit may arise
for the operation of the courts of
general sessions and common pleas

The delegation also agreed, in a

prisoners. Due to heavy work along
this line this year, this fund has been
i exhausted, and it needs augmenting.
