Monday Listening
Day For Board j
Commissioners
Monday was listening day1
for Warren County's Board ofi
Commissioners. From 10:15 in
the morning until around 5
o'clock in the afternoon, with
only time out for dinner, they
heard heads of county agencies
as they presented their!
tentative budgets for the 196061
fiscal year, sandwiching in
a few routine matters.
No action was taken on the
budgets, pending a study ofj
all money requests as a whole.
Practically all the budgets
call for increased expenditures'
and would mean an increase!
in the tax rate if approved by!
the commissioners as submitted
by agencv heads. I
An exception was the county'
school budget, submitted in!
the afternoon by Supt. of'
Schools Roger Peeler. The'
school budget does call for anL
increase in expenditures, but'
[for no Increase in the tax|
I rate over that of 1959-60 beI
cause of an increase in valuations.
The tentative school budget jc
calls for-a-total outlay on then
part of the county of $188,-1
389.91. On this amount $106,- j|
304.38 is for current expenses, I
and $82,085.33 for capital out- J
lay. Included in the capital!
I outlay budget was an item of'l
$30,000, to be used in build- j
ing up a reserve to consolidate
a number of small Negro
, schools in the southern part ^
of the county.
Peeler said that in addition n
I In tho fnnrlc ni-Anidna V??? U>a ?
? 'fvu UJ VI?C L
county the state provided ap- tl
proximately a million dollars a
each year for the education of ij
the 6400 school children enrolled
in the county schools. M
Prior to the submission of p
I tentative budgets, Jailor Her- r
I bert Rooker appeared before
| the commissioners to point
out the need for repairs in the Y1
living quarters of the coun- ?
i ty jail. New plastering and J1
windows are needed In this
department, he said. He was
told to obtain an estimate of e
this cost. Later in the after- ri
noon, Irvin Lancaster, local *3
contractor, appeared before the v
commissioners to explain what ri
was needed to repair the liv1
ing quarters of the jail. He e
said that he preferred to take
: the job on a labor and ma- e
1 terial cost basis, and imagined ^
that the cost would run around j.
$800, the most of which would ^
be for steel window frames.
When the question was raised
as to wether these frames
could be bought under state
contract, the commissioners ,r
told Lancaster that they would w
let him know as soon as the
matter of the window frames r<
could be determined, and a **
study of the financial demands "
upon the county could be con- a
sidered at a called meeting on ^
next Tuesday night.
Following Rooker, came Dr. 1
Lemuel Kornegay, acting \
health consultant, with a tent- .
ative budget for the Warren I
County Health Department. *
This budget called for an increase
of approximately $4,000.
After Dr. Kornegay had sub- w
mittedthetentative budget C
for the Health Department, he o
asked that the rate for opera- a
ion of Warren General Hos- ?
pital be increased to the maxi- d
mum provided in the bond
issue of 12c. This would bring d<
in around $20,000, which he C
said is needed for the proper tl
operation of the hospital. 01
Wilbur Davis, Fire Warden, V
who appeared next before the k
commissioners to precent the T
tentative budget of the Forestry
Service, wanted an in- tl
crease of only $128, due to m
the purchase of a new truck. C
This will not require any tax bi
increase, due to a gain in r
valuations. y
Between the hearing of the S
Health Department budget and
the presentation of the budget 1<
for the Extension Services, the h
Commissioners approved the M
employment of Miss AnnTUwk- w
