The New York Times News Service recently sent its reporters to small towns around America and found that self- government is tougher today than it used to be. So tough, in fact, that some small towns are dissolving themselves and turning over their problems to the state. Towns of less than 10,000 people represent 86 percent of the governments in the United States.

Attempt To Rework Budgets The Polk County Commission ers and the Polk County Board of Education voted during a joint meeting Friday to work towards reducing the $450,000 gap in their respective budgets for the 1990-91 school year. The joint mediation meeting was called to meet the seven-day deadline from the time that the county budget was officially adopted, June 18, (weekend days are not counted) provided by law in the procedure for resolution of disputes between a board of education and a board of county commissioners. County Manager Steve Wyatt and Superintendent Dr. James Causby were to meet early Monday and work on concessions in each budget. The two boards were then to meet separately to approve or disapprove any changes made. Should the two boards separately agree on any changes, then the issue is closed. However, if no agreement is reached, another joint meeting will be held today at 7 p.m. in the Stearns Education Building. According to law, if no agreement is reached at this last joint meeting of the two boards, then the dispute will be referred to the Polk County Clerk of Court for a decision within three days. The clerk of court has the option to not hear the case and send it to superior court. Appoximately 35 spectators Continued On Baek Paye Attends Institute Matthew L. Davis.
