Controllable expenditure for the five months was $197,523, or 41.22 per cent. of the amount budgeted for the year, while uncontrollable expen- diture stood at $623,867. The latter figure represents items to which the county is committed for the entire year. Actual expenditure up to May 31 stood at $259,944, or 41.35 per cent. of the year’s budget. The total expenditure for the period was $457,- 468, or 41.29 per cent. of a budget of $1,107,887 for the whole year, leaving $286,496 as the unexpended portion. A surplus of $1,353 to date this year, and a balance carried for- ward from last year, gives an ac- crued surplus to date amounting to $27,873.
