STATEMENT TO THE CITIZENS
OF BUTTS COUNTY
It appears that some rumors are circulating that the county went
heavily into debt during the year 19 51. These rumors are unfounded. The
records will reveal that the county p aid all its obligations during the year
1951 with the exception of some equipment recently bought which will be
paid for when due.
The county has undertaken to grade the road from Jacksop to Bar
nesville and we believe that in so doing this county will have, at least,
paid for the equipment used on the road which will last several years
longer.
In addition, we have kept the bridges in repair throughout the coun
ty. We have tried to keep the roads passable and in good condition. There
may have been times on account of bad weather and other conditions that
some places were bad but we have en deavored to remedy this as soon as
possible
In all we have tried to save the taxpayers all that was possible and at
the same time give them value received for money received from taxes.
. We have assurance from the Highway Department that some paving
will be given the county in the near future.
This financial condition of the c ounty can be verified by the county
treasurer as his books will show the income and expenditures.
A. A. WHITE, Chairman,
County Commissioners.
L. J. WASHINGTON, Member
The above statement as to the financial condition of
the county for the year 1951 is correct.
