I of July by taking on a tank of gas

I and driving off without paying for
it.
It was only a matter of seconds
before he found out that he had
made a mistake.
Rural Policeman Lee • Shepherd,
who was standing at the Von Bass
service station when the Norfolk
man drove off without paying, gave
; pursuit, siren screaming.
Hearing the excitement, Highway
Patrolman Charlie Phillips joined in
the chase.
It turned out, however, that
neither the patrol’s Buick nor the
rural policeman’s 49 Ford could
catch the 41 Ford they were chas
ing. He gave them the slip.
The chase apparently was a hot
one for Inman stopped at a |11-
ing station several miles across
the South Carolina line for a
cold beer, and it was while he
was thus engaged that Phillips
came upon him.
Since it was in South Carolina,
a S. C. patrolman was summoned
and Inman was talked into zeturn-

meeting Tuesday set the tax levy-
for 1949-50 at $1.80 per $100 valua
tion. This figure compares with
$1.55 per $100 for the year Just past;
At the same time the budget for
the coming year was approved: Gen
eral Fund, $443,202.00; County Debt
Service $279,368.81; School Current
Expense, $279,667.00 (including $57,-
667 from State and Federal Govt.);
School Capital Outlay, $112,400;
School Debt Service, $206,243.11. The
total budget amounts to $1,321,-
880.92.
The tax levy for school purposes
for 1949-50 will amount to 84 cents,
a rise of 15 cents over last years 69
cents.. The county-wide levy was
raised to 96 cents, ten cents higher
than before. The school current ex
pense levy rises from 16 cents to 29
1 cents and the school debt service
: is 6 cents higher than last years 25
cents. The capital outlay levy is
reduced by four cents.
Revenues
General Fund revenue estimates
i show the loss of $22,000 which was
I received from Iseer and wine last
I year. The Register of Deeds reve
nue estimate shows an increase of
almost $5,000 and the Clerk of Su
perior Court fees are expected to
increas e$l,800. Big revenue increase
will be in ad valorem taxes because
of the ’ increased valuation, from
! $40 million to $46 million, and the
; increased rate, from 54c to 64c.
The school current expense bud
get increases the cost of instruc
tional service more than $36,000 with
a good portion of the increase go
ing to equalization of amounts
I spent as to races. Revenue from
: state and federal government will
. go a long way toward offsetting this
I Increase.. Plant operation costs
| show an increase because of the in
creased plant. In the School Capi
tal Outlay budget, the board of ed
ucation has asked for double the
amount spent last year on new
busses, an item which new schools
and consolidations will make nec
essary, but in spite of this increase
of $17,000 the total capital outlay
increase is less than $4,000.
School revenue will increase by
tax levy, valuation, and increased
federal and state aid.
General Fund
The general fund budget exceeds
last year’s $407,710.50 by $35,491.50.
There will be no general increase
in salaries, and the only changes
I in this item were adjustments to
equalize differences between sal-
ries of clerks. All departments were
given increased allowances T&r of-
ilce suppplies, postage, equipment,
and machinery, stationery and
printing, and telephone and tele
graph; the increases were bas'd on
actual expenditures last year, and it
should be noted that the amount
j budgeted may not be entirely used,
the single department budget which
is less than last year is Collection
of Taxes, last year having had ex
tra expense for re-valuation.
The largest departmenatl increase
I is a matter of $9940 for the Health
! department. This increase will be
met by state and federal funds and
they are shown in the county’s ex-
j pected revenue budget. Other de-
