REVENUE ACCOUNTS
The Surplus Revenue at the end of the year shows $9,296.87. The Surplus at the beginning of 1926 was $15,158.03 of which, $5,000 was taken for Highways, which left $10,158.03. Estimated credits were set too high and as a result our balance is smaller by $861.16, leaving $9,296.87.
The accounts of the Treasurer have been examined, Trust Funds veri- fied, all Temporary Loans have been cancelled and outstanding debt is as reported.
Thanking all who have aided me in compiling this report I respect- fully submit the same.
