from year to year, that the co6t
of county and municipal
governments will continue to
rise; especially, if we are to
receive any of the federal funds
which are available only on
matching funds. At present,
the only way the county and
town officials have to raise
money is through the
advaloiem or direct property
tax.
Rogers stated that the
finances of the county were in
much better condition during
the past few years than they
were several years ago; but that
we are losing many of the
advantages provided in other
areas where Matching Funds
are available to attract federal
dollars. If for no other reason,
he thought the county should
vote this extra sales tax in
order to meet matching funds
requirements.

NOTICE TO CLAY
COUNTY TAXPAYERS
Did you know that the
1969 Legislature increased
mandatory County
expenditures across the State
by an average of 32%? Our
County Commissioners did not
have one say-so in the matter
but they are forced to raise the
necessary taxes to meet
expenditures. All other local
Government expenses have
increased due to inflation and
there is urgently needed a
source of revenue other than
by property taxes. Vote FOR
the local option sales tax on
November 4 and let us obtain
revenue for local expenidtures
without additional property
taxes. All of this sales tax will
come back to the County and
by sharing with other counties.
Clay County will actually
profit by an amount greater
than what is actually paid in
Clay County, thus relieving
property owners of an
additional burden of tax.
