Rensselaer Republican, Volume 26, Number 3, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 September 1893 — The County Commissioners. [ARTICLE]

The County Commissioners.

The County Commissioners have remained in session this week, finishing up the regular business Monday aad Tuesday, and on Wednesday began the hearing in the Gifford Drainage District case. The township tax levies, as made by the Trustees, have been put upon the records. The levy for county purposes, made by the Commissioners, is 44 cents on the SIOO, and 1 cent on the SIOO for gravel road repair fund. The increase in the county tax has been made necessary by the very large advances made and in prospeet out of the county fund, on account of the preliminary expenses of the Wakarusa, Iroquois, Gifford, and other large ditches. The Weurthner ditch, a small affair in Newton tp., was ordered established, but the remonstrants give notice of appeal to the circuit court. Next Monday is the day set for the adjourned hearing of the Wakarusa ditch.
