Sales Tax: Friday Hearing;
Simmons Issues Statement
Friday Night
Public Hearing
C At Courthpise
The county commission will
conduct a public hearing at the
county courthouse Friday night
at 7:30 on the question of levy
ing without vote, the one percent
sales tax permitted by legisla
tion of the current General As*
sem'bly.
The ne^v legislation follow’ed
reversal by the Supreme Court
of a prior act which permitted
Chose counties voting in favor of
ihe hrca'l one percent levy in a
stote-wide referendum. A com
pany whieh had paid the tax un-
* der protest brought the action.
The result was a financial bund
for the 24 courrtics.
The effort by the General As
sembly was to help financially
hard-pressed counties, supporters
said, wibich hove virtually no
source of revenue exieept the ad
valorem proipcrty tax.
The Cleveland County conumLs-
.sion has discussed possibility of
levying the tax in several ses
sions.
The county commission is urg
ing citizens to attend the public
hearing Friday night to make
. known their wishes concerning
I levying of the loi'a! option sales
t tax.
' After the state revenue dopart-
• ment deducted one percent of col-
letilion.s for the service the re
mainder would be Tjistributed to
j the countic»s and incorporated mu-
I nieipal'itios under one of two for
mulae: population or ad valorem

Commission is in prix’css of mak

T)ii‘ j'fnnmissidn reports that re

erated (onsiflorahle interest in
inv'estmi'nt in the central
ncss district by lo^al business
men. This is very encouraging
since private investment is the
key to success: of a ied<*velopinent
program.
The value helng cfferel to th<‘

Mast land negotiation is ba-;<*d
on one ap^)’'ai al and bargainin'*,
wirliin a limited rangt* fr>m that
value. This usually results in Hie
pr.jperty owner facing a profes
