medically ill-advised; lie also
quoted passages from books and

that there was no proof that the

Five of the six candidates for the two seats on the
Board of County Commissioners came out foursquare
for support of public schools Tuesday night.
But agreement faded when they got down to tiie
particulars of school financing.
liicumlH'iit appeared to sum up the
feeling of the other candidates. “Supporting school bud
get requests is one thing,” he said, “but raising the
money tor these* programs is an
other
Mr Stanford outlined a 111-year
plan lor providing the county’s
school needs on a pay-as-you-go
basis with a five cent increase ill
the county lax levy
I’hil Sehinhan promised a long
range program based on a com
binut ion ol increased ■ t axi's, re
using the tax base, and an im
mediate bond issue to bring
present lacditios up to date
Harvey Bennett said he feels
capital improvements lor the
schools wdl have to be financed
largely through bond issues and
a state supplement. But he in
dieati'd he would he leluelant
lo raise taxes in ordei to [malice
additional school budgets
I'd be very can-jul about in-,
creasing taxes tor any reason,
he said.

All live of the candidates wen
in agreement that profits trom

to school funds
l.otiis W Sparrow, the Repub
lican candidate lor the hoard,
also promised support tor school
budgets. Although he did not out
line a specific plan tor school
Imam mg, lie indicated firmly
that he would move cautiously in
authorizing higher taxes
