He then outlined various
projects that the commissioners
have implemented, and he then
revealed several hopes that
they have for the future.
“We want to do what you, the
people of this county, want us
to do, and we want to spend
your tax money where it will
best serve you. If the majority
of the people want more money
spent on schools, then we will
spend more. Or, if you feel
that we are spending too much
on schools, we want to know
that too,” Mr. Ives remarked.
He concluded his informa

Chamber members, and of the
people, to let them, the Com
missioners, know what they can
do to better serve the people
of this county. “We maintain a

in the court house, and we want
to be accessable when the peo
ple need us,” he concluded.
After his remarks, Mr. Ives

At their meeting on July
9th, the Board of County
Commissioners gave formal
approval to the 1973-74 bud
get. There was no change
from the previously an
nounced tax rate of 58c to
support county services for
the coming fiscal year.
As stated in June, this is a
•eduction in the tax rate of 5c,
but overall the total tax collec
tion will be up over the previ
dus year. Most of the additional
funds being collected will go to
ward education and new proj
ects, such as the library, the
new jail and the county office
building. The other substantial
increase in expenses is due to
the $5,000,000 school bond
issue. This will require an in
crease of $180,000 this fiscal
year.
Two supplemental appro
priations were approved and
funds for these are avail
able in the 1972-73 budget.
