Lincoln County Finances A Beacon Of Fiscal Effort In 1914
The Journal reviews Lincoln county’s first year under new bonds and notes strong tax collection, orderly warrants, and prudent use of funds. Auditor reports show $1,907.99 in outstanding current expense warrants, $915.42 in road warrants, and $2,944.72 due in bond interest on January 1, 1914 with another $2,944.72 due July 1.

Tax collection shows $155,679.36 from 1913 and delinquent taxes totaling $23,243.33 second payments and $31,373.46 in delinquencies yet to come.
