' i Commissioners Accept Resig nation; Hear Appeal From Board Of Education To Restore Budget Cut Douglas ' -Hawes" , resigned as Brunswick county tax collector at the Monday meeting of the board of county commissioners, asking that he be relieved of his duties on August 31 or as soon there after as his successor can be qualified. Representatives for the Bruns wick county board of education met with the commissioners to protest the cut in the school bud get brought about by reducing the amount of the school levy from 40-«ents which was levied last year to 35-cents for this year. The commissioners promised to give consideration to a supple mentary school budget which they said they “hoped to be able to finance with delinquent tax col lections.” In submitting his letter of re signation, Hawes handed over two copies, one for the minutes. How ever, it was learned that Chair man H. F. Swain had retained both copies of the letter. Hawes, when asked for a copy, said that he felt it should be released thr ough normal channels. Durwood Clark, clerk to the board, did not have a copy. Text of the letter follows: “I herewith tender my resignation as Tax Collector of Brunswick Co., effective at the close of the day on August 31, 1963; or as soon thereafter as you may find it con venient to appoint and install my successor. “I like the work and have enjoyed my contact with the public. I have done my best to render them efficient and courteous service. I take this action because I do not feel justified in trying to con tinue on without the cooperation and support of the County Com missioners and other associated There is much room for addition al modernization, and improvement in the methods and proceedures in this office. The discouraging thing to me is that we still employ some “horse and buggy” methods in our Tax Department which were quite adequate when started, but which are woefully inadequate to handle the present volume of work in this department. The fact that the property valuation has more than doubled in ten years will give you an idea of what I mean. Development of beach areas and other residential subdivisions have added hundreds of new tax accounts each year, creating a need for new equipment and new methods. “I have been trying to install an Accounts Receivable ledger card system, used in practically every county in the state, and re cognized by the Institute of Gov ernment as a necessity in main taining ’an efficient tax collection system. In addition, basic office equipment, a typewriter and cal culator are badly needed.
