Adoption of the budget for the fis cal year, which begins' July 'l, is ex pected by the Board of County Com nissioners at their regular meeting on Monday, July 2nd. : ... The increase of 15 cents in the tax rate is not as great as predicted dur ,ng the past winter, during discus sion of the bond issue proposal ; how ever, this budget does not include pro vision for repayment of any of the school bonds which were issued sev eral months ago.' The budget does, however, include a 15 cent item for the purchase of new school buses, needed in connection with the school consolidation program. This item is nore than sufficient to meet the school bond payments which become due in 1953. Interest on the new school bonds, which must be paid during the com ing year is included in the levy for the debt service fund, which was in creased five cents over last year. According to the proposed budget,. a one cent increase in the tax levy is noted in the fund for the health de partment, due to the county assuming the entire appropriation for this de partment, part of which formerly was paid by the Town of Hertford. A two cent decrease is noted in the poor fund while a five cent increase is levied for debt service. The general a school fund has beep reduced and a three cent reduction in the tax levy is noted on this item. A one cent re duction was made in the old age as- lstance fund while no change was made in the general county fund, aid to dependent children fund and wel fare administration. The budget calls for expenditures amounting to approximately 239,254; of this amount $113,254 wilt be re ceived by the county from sources- other than ad volorem taxation, thus making a total of $126,000 needed from taxes on county property. Revenue estimated to the derived from sources other than ad valorem taxation include funds from the State on taxes from intangible property, beer taxes, recorder's court, marriage licenses, refunds on salaries of voca tional teachers. The greatest source, however, being estimated income from State and Federal aid for the Old Age Assistance and Aid to Dependent Children Funds. Farm Bureau Oppose AG Commodities E, Q.
