Whereas, there is a movement on
foot by certain interests of the state
of Florida to have the legislature
postpone the payment of taxes and
make the payments in divisions or in
stallments in July, September and De-
cember and to this end these persons
will ask the governor of the state of
Florida to recommend the enactment
of such legislation; and,
Whereas, the several boards of
county commissioners throughout the
state of Florida have made up their
budgets for the fiscal year and are
now in the middle of that fiscal year;
and,
Whereas many and most of the
counties of the state have large pub
lie improvements and road and bridge
building programs in progress and
such an act of the legislature would
cripple, retard and set back the coun-
ties in the necessary work, not for one
year, but for many years; therefore
be it
Resolved, by the board of county
commissioners of Marion county. Fla,
that we earnestly urge our senator
and Representatives to work and vote
