Warren County taxpayers will for the second straight year receive a cut in their county tax rate if the tentative budget approved by the com-' missioners on Friday night is j approved without change. The tentative budget calls j for an overall rate of $1.70j for the 1962-63 year, compared with a $1.74 rate for the 1961-1 62 budget. The tentative budget must lay open for public inspection ' for 20 days before it can be j adopted by the commissioners. ] While in years past there have ] been changes in tentative bud-1 gets, usually the tentative fig- ? ures are adopted without j change. The tentative budget calls! for a total outlay of $318,015.32, j of which $137,072.32 is deriv-| ed from ad valorem taxes. This compares with $323,417.24 for the 1961-62 budget, of which j amount $144,458.24 was receiv-j ed from taxes. Schools account for $206, 0X6.32 appropriated for the tentative budget. This is brok en down into $122,940 for cur rent expenses; $48,700.00 for capital outlay and $35,000 for capital reserve fund. The schools' appropriation under the tentative budget compared with a total of$ 204,590 for 1961-62. In spite of the increase in the amount of appropriation for schools and some slight in creases in other departments, the commissioners were able to cut the tax rate in the tent ative budget by 4 cents. This was made possible, in part, by a slight increase in valuations, the consolidation of the Health Department with that of Frank lin County, and a $20,000 sur plus in the General Fund. The 1962-6 valuation of Warren County is $20,300,000; compared with $20,186,000 in 1961-62, an increase of $114,000.
