ABOUT YOUR ~ COUNTY FINANCES . At the beginning of the ECONOMICAL ADMINISTRATION of Mr. Jack E. Scott as County Commissioner, Natrona County had on hand A Surplus of $125,000.00 Today, after the same Mr. Jack E. Scott is about to complete his two year term of “Economical Administration,” the county is Overdrawn $258,000.00 This not only. means that his “economical administration” has spent its entire ap- propriation, with three more months to go, but.that he has spent over a quarter of a million dollars over and above-his budget, which must be made up by the next . Board of Commissioners by raising the tax levy — which means higher taxes next year. The following table givés the Whole Truth about the tax situation in Natrona County. Look at the INCREASE in the county valuation, . Then look_at the INCREASE in the county appropriation in the last column of the table. That tells the story: - _ . Valuation . : 1921 . . . $61,068,739 4.00 Mills $244,274 1922 . . . 59,702;416 4.10 Mills 244,780 1923 ... 73,085,741 3.30 Mills 242.038 1924 . . . 97,729,782 2.965 Mills 289.768 The valuation shown above ig on ALL taxable property in the county. The levy is for county purposes only, which is levied to raise the amount of money which the Commissioners require to conduct the government of the county. The appropriation is the amount raised by applying the levy to the valuation— a very. simple problem. The appropriation is what counts. It shows the total of money spent by the Com- missioners in running your county government. It represents the money paid intc the treasury by YOU TAXPAYERS, to be spent by your Commissioners. Mr. Scott has no right to claim an “Economical Administration” when he spent a total appropriation of $531,806.00, ate up a surplus of $125,000.00, and is now in the hole for $258,000.00, in two years—a total of nearly 4 million dollars. Of course, the levy is lower, in 1923 to $97,729,782 in 1924—an increase of $24,644,041. What Became of the Surplus of $125,000.00 Who'll Pay the Overdraft of $258,000.00 YOU WILL, Mr. Taxpayer. same safe financial condition it was in when Mr. Scott went into office with his “Economical Administration.” _ Mr. Scott can talk DECREASED LEVY all he wants to, but.the truth is that with the same valuation it would require a levy of 6.876 mills this year to run the gov- ernment.
