COUNTY BUDGET
g.. UNDECIDED WITH
court STUDYING
Sentiment Saturday Strong
for Retaining County
Agent and Demonstration.
BELIEF PREVAILS THAT
. COURT WILL STAND FAST
Argument is Made That Cut
in Library Budget You'd
lnvaIidate Two Contracts.

Today marked the second day Of
consideration by the county court Of
the budget for the county taxes for
1922. the only difference in today's
session and that of Saturday being
that the latter was a public meeting
Final action on the budget had not
been taken at a late hour this after
noon, and members of the county
court indicated that it might be Tues
day or Wednesday before they will
make a decision
A great deal of the time today has
been taken up by the court in consid-
ering petitions and letters which were
presented by taxpayers at the meet
ing Saturday. Another matter which
received consideration was the state
taxes. The county's share of state
taxes to he .naiGl VIII be $4,000 more
this coming year than during 1921, it
was stated.
That any cut to be made will be
only what might be required to make
the state and county leyles make even
mills was indicated by member of
the court this morning. The budget
viii be reviewed in detail again, and
IT, in the light of the requests made
by citizens Saturday, it seems pos
sble and advisable to make any cuts,
some further reductions might be at
tempted, it was indicated, but in view
of the general tenor of the speeches
made saturday, the common view held
is that the budget will be practically
unchanged from it spresent form when
It is finally adopted by the county
court
Mcintyre Related Difficulties.
Among those who discussed the
problem Of the budget during the aft
ernoon was A. c. Mcintyre of Helix,
one of the six men who sat on the
budget committee and framed the
budget which has been proposed.
when I was notified Of my ap-
pointment as q member of the budget
committee 1 Immediately said that
would do my part to see that taxes are
sent downward" Mr.. Mcintyre said
in his talk. II came down here with
that idea in mind But before we had
gone very far in our consideration,
knew that il was impossible to lower
taxes very much without crippling the
work of the county which needs to bC
done. We cut every item we thought
would bear cutting, and l don't SEE
how we can have budget much lower
than the one we have now"
