"It is our goal to hold well attended meetings in every precinct in the county and to continue to build on this strength at the county con vention. Joe Lanier son i * g?!m Two weeks ago the school board agreed among them selves it was too much to pay $100 a day to inventory the schools' fixed assets, saying "There are unemployed folks ? just recently laid off from their jobs in local industries ? that are capable and would be more than willing to take the job for half that.". Hooray, you may say. At last they are seeing there is an end to the buck. . .It is not inexhaustible. . .This money to pay for the inventory will come from local tax dollars. The inventory is needed, there is no doubt; however. 1 do agree with the school board $4,500 for three months' work, at only four days a week during that three months, is too high. Quite frankly, had it been me. I would have instructed those already under the em ployment of the school system to take the inventory. I see no need to hire an outside source. . .There is time in the workday of many in which this simple task could take place. Apparently it is like She story of the secretary-typist who said it is not my job to make coffee, so some feel it is not their job to inventory. . It makes them feel less important. Speaking of the school board saving tax money on the inventory ? as they were planning to use less money on the inventory, they were also planning to take a taxpayer-paid trip to New Orleans ? which they did. Everyone on the board ? Jimmy Strickland. Dr. E.L. Boycttc. Graham Phillips. Joe Swinson and Riddick Wilkins ? all were off to the New Orleans town. Superin tendent L. S. Guv was also along. Kinda makes you wonder if they were saving money front one to use on the other. They went to attend a convention in a town that was just coming out of the shock of the Mardi Gras. I think when the taxpayers of Duplin are asked to put back the money spent bv this board and others going away on conventions, be it boards or employees, these taxpayers arc going to be smiling less and less as they pay and pay. As utility bills are going slam through the ceiling and we have no way of stopping them and must pay them to keep things going, seems these silly little conventions would be an easy thing to put a halt to. It's time someone slopped and took a serious look. . .The taxpayer can't continually be asked to foot the bill as it goes up and up and up and up. There are just going to have to be some cuts, and cuts, and cuts. ***** Guess what? The county commissioners did not go into executive session this week. County Manager Ralph Cottle stated. "The executive session is not too important and can wail until next meeting." Ain't that what I been saying all the time. It is not important. However, during the break. I did notice some of the com missioners back off kinda quietly into one of the rooms to discuss something. . .So. their executive (secret meet ing) could have taken place anyway. . .That part that should never take place in the first place. . . Kenansvillc town board went into execu tive session Monday night. . .It was so executive, even the w indows fogged up!. . . ***** DUPLIN TIMES-PROGRESS SENTINEL Published Weekly by DUPLIN PUBLISHING CO., INC.
