294 TEXAS INDIAN PAPERS, 1860-1916 may be remitted. The amount of State tax this year levied on this county is six thousand four hundred and sixty six 48/100 dollars. In return the State salaries two judicial officers, who administer the laws. Their annual salary and contingent ex- penses amount to $5000. Their duties extend over six counties leaving the prorata share of the benefit derived by this county from the States Contribution just one sixth of that amount or $833 l/3 per annum. This is the sum total of the benefit derived by our people from their incorporation with the State of Texas. I have endeavored to recapitulate as briefly as possible the incontrovertable facts of our melancholy situation. To you, as an American soldier and gentleman, having the power to grant relief, I appeal in behalf of the people of this county for a rem- edy; and your eminent virtue as a public officer and sense of justice as a man lead me to hope the appeal will not be in vain.
I remain respectfully Your Obedient servant JEREMIAH GALVAN County Judge Cameron Co. State Texas
