SCHOOLS ASK $595,216.30 MORE, WELFARE DEPARTMENT ASKING $315,059.43 INCREASE Jones County Commissioners Staring Matching Fund Dilemma Squarely in The Eye As Budget-Making Arrives By Jack Rider The Jones County Commission ers joined with 99 other hoards across the state this week as the annual hot potato of match ing fund budget was dropped in to their lap. Last year’s total Budget was $1,377,133.70 and askings this year amout to $2, 274,447. Total requests from all depart ments involved an increase of $897,313.30 over the budget al locations of the present year and the combined increases ask ed by the schools and1 the wel fare department amout to $910, 275.73, which means among oth er things that if the commission ers approved all that was asked all other branches of the county would be getting $12,962.43 less than in the past year while these two departments would gobble up a vastly greater amount. Last year total school appro priations amounted to $648,070. 70 and this year school askings; amount to $1,243,297 — an in crease of $595,216.30. This includes $760,297 for cur rent expenses in the coming fis cal year against $618,100.70 spent in this school year and $483,000 asked for capital out lay ip 1969-70 compared to $29, 970 in the present fiscal period. The welfare department wants to institute two new programs; the first of which is “medicaid” which has a $90,904 price tag, and the other is a “work-incen tive” program with a first-year cost tagged to it of $63,405. In the increase department the welfare department is ask ing to boost its office operations Saturday Wreck East of Trenton Both drivers were indicted by Patrolman R. R. Mason after a sideswimping type accident five miles east of Trenton at about 3 Saturday morning. Mason says Frederick Doug las Smith was driving westward ly and James Edward Taylor was driving eastward^ when their oars tangled. Damage to Smith’s car was es timated at $350 and at $2,500 to Taylor’s. Mason indicted Smith for cost from $60,059 to $99,661, to booost money for families with dependent children from $151,987 to $355,880 and aid to the blind from $5,800 to $10, 204.43. Also requested is a $22, 000 increase in benefits for the disabled. All welfare department boosts if granted would total $315,059. 43, since the department is' ask ing $9,169 less for aid to the ag ed than it is spending in the cur rent fiscal year. There isn’t the remotest pos sibility of the commissioners ap proving such ridiculous increas ;s in either the school or wel ’are budgets so their work is ;o decide how much to cut out md where to do the cutting. :THE JONES COUNTY IO U RNAL NUMBER 7 TRENTON, N.
