Show COUNTY FINANCES. . The financial statement by the county coun-ty commissioners, published in Friday's Fri-day's Standard, indicates that the commissioners com-missioners are economizing in a number num-ber of departments and are laboring to place the county on a more solid financial basis. The publication of these statements is an excellent thing. The taxpayers are given some idea of how their money mon-ey Is being spent, and, if a good record rec-ord is being made, tho knowledge that by publicity their services will re- ceive commendation, will prove an incentive in-centive for the commissioners to con-; con-; tlnuo their good work. ; The annual report of the city ' Is i somewhat past due. When it Is pre-! pre-! rented, this paper will be able to make a comparative review of tho stewardship steward-ship in the two branches of local government gov-ernment county and city. |
