The Board of County Commissioners approved the 1940 budget totaling 122,902.67 for expenses, up from 1935 by 13,746.74.

Other funds show gains in Road, Hospital, and Indigent budgets, while Interest and Sinking, Old Age, and Library funds face cuts. A weed eradication request was trimmed to 975, and an Easter Pageant debt ad was denied. Dr. Bergstrom will sell equipment to the hospital for 2,260, prompting the raise in the hospital budget.
