NTeir were ,.M UIC 1uv.'i".vi; county commissioners Jameson county. On the 20th day of June. 17, the first lax levy of said county was made m j saidard on a total assesseil valuation of ft4,978.64, the rate of taxation being 1) mills on the dollar.' The levy was not divided, the entire 1". mills lieing for the general fund, making such levy ir regular , as the statute provides (CoU-ev 1S91, section 3976): "On the last day of billing as a bonnl of equalization the county board shall levy the necessary taxes for the current year, iucliul ing all county, township, eity.scliool district, precinct, village, and oilier taxei req.iiivd i,viw to be certified to tin-comity fieri; si.d levied by the county Ix.ard; Provided, Thai school district taxes voted at the school fii. trict's annual meeting and certified to tin county clerk, on or before the first Monday in July, shall !x- levied by said county clerk when such lev)' is within the limits ol the la-. The rate of tax for county purpw shall not exceed one dollar and fifty cei ls on tho one hundred dollars valuation, ct ceptfor the payment of Indebtedness i xi-t lug at the adoption of the present constitu tion, unless authorized by a vote of tli" people of the county, and shall be as follows: In counties under towiishln organization, for ordinary county revenue, including the supixirt of the poor, not more tnau nine Ills on the dollar valuation; for roads, not more than five mills on the dollar valuation, for county bridge fund, not more than four mills on the dollar valuation; for county sinking fund, not more than four mill-on the dollar valuation; and labor taxnsiro vlded in the following section. In counties not under township organization, for orlin ary county revenue (including the supiurt of the poor) not more than ninu mills on tin dollar valuation; for roads, not more than five mills on the dollar valuation; for jounty bridge fund, not more than lour mills on the dollar valuation; for oonnty sinkiug fund, not more than three mills on the dollar valuatiou, and lalior tax as pro vlded in the following section." By the above section the board was practically prohibited from levying more than nine mills for general purposes. Bills were allowed and warrants issued in the sum of $", 021.46 ou said levy. For the year 1 Bioux county vas orliceretl by the same board of commis sioners Sf: 1 clerk w ho on the 27th day of Jut.: 1w aiaife a levy of i3 mills on the doll..- valuation 6'f taxable properly in the county for all purposes as follows: Oeneral fund 11 mills': Brkfye fund 1 mill. The limit ( " :'ie law aS exceeded so far as tlie fiinci wal concerned. by five milts. ;r the reasons stated in section S976; which I have just cited. The taxable property in the counfy for the said year was $"il3.11."i, and assuming that a 14 nirll levy on Hie general fund would be held legal? the f ornniisioners might have legally rtrnivp warrants on the said fund for ixw lor 1 tie sluii of $6,105. the commissioners drew warrants on such fund for said year in the sum of $6,13S.8o. The commissioners could have legally drawn warrants against the bridge luna lor said year in the sum of $436, and drew warrants on the same in the sum of $437.69, From the foregoing it will be seen that the board of commissioners had practi :ally succeeded in paying the current expenses of tlie county out of the cur rent levies up to the beginning of tlie fiscal year 1869. The year 1889 is known in the history of Sioux county finances as "Great Claim Year." A spirit of matrnificent expenditure seemed to have possessed the board, which consisted for the first half of the year of Doti M. Weir, Andrew McGinley and Joseph G. Morris, and for the last half of the year of Don M. AVeir, Andrew McOmley aud Julius Burke iBurke having1 been appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Joseph li. Morns, and Charles C. Jamc son was clerk. yju june tain, iwv, a levy of 13 mills on tlie dollar valuation of all tuvol.io property lit the county was made di vided as follows: General fund 91 mills bridge fund 4 mills; road fund 1 milts. It will be noticed that the board airain exceeded the statutory limit in the gen eral tuna levy oy , mill. The taxuVc property in the countv fnf said year was M5,M8.0o, assifmlftg as uc.uro hiu a vt mm levy lor tlie general fund would be held legal, the bnani' could have legally allowed warrants against, sftid fund in an amount not ei- ceeaing f4,4U.
