Wood River Pays For Last of 1932 Levy Anticipation $32.000 Loans for Operating Expenses Are Cleared Up WOOD RIVER. Aug.

only BO per cent of what It was estimated would be received from the city's 1932 flteneral levy. Treasurer Joseph Connors has completed the redemption of the last anticipation warrants Issued against the levy, he announced Tuesday. Final payment on the last warrant, for $20.000, was made Saturday. A total of $32,000 had been anticipated during the year. Pol- lowing payment of the warrant and Interest, Treasurer Connors said a balance still remained.

He estimated that 20 percent of the taxes paid, or to be paid under last year's levy, were still due. These will be turned over by the county treasurer when he finishes collecting them. To date the county treasurer's settlements with the city have totalled $34,000. In addition to the balance from the most recent county treasurer's settlement, Connors announced that the city's cash position had been strengthened through the payment by the state of $1444.09 due on the contract for maintenance of Routes 159 and 3 through the city, The former contract with the state expired July 1, and, after delays in payment, the city's finance department had begun to wonder whether It would receive the funds to replace those expended during the latter part of the year for state highway maintenance. While Issuance of two $2000 anticipation warrants was authorized by the city council at its last meet- Ing, Treasurer Connors said he had not been obliged to cash either, because of the recent cash income from other sources.

The total cashed to date has been $14,000 during the fiscal year, which began in May. This would make the city's operating expenses during the months of May, June, and July average $4666 per month.
