was cordially received by Pickens
county citizens who promptly re-
sponded to the issue, realizing the
vast Importance of the amendment.
The defeat of the bond issue means
the loss of Alabama's share of federal
aid and hence the end OF road build
ing in most if not all, OF the small
counties of the state.
while we believe that the good
roads bond issue will carry when 1t
is voted on in January, still we re-
gard it as important that the people
should know and realize just what
the amendment means and the finance
committee has been organized for
educational purposes in order to over
come as far as possible any who may
be doubtful on the subject of the great
good that will accrue from the
amendment which is lnestimable to
every agricultural and business fac
tor In the entire state of Alabama"

COUNTY |NANCES
Special Attention Will Be
Given to Proposed Budget
System-To Keep Ex-
penSe Within Income

|. A comprehensive statement show
ing the present financial condition
of jefferson county and explanation
of the forces that have operated TO
prevent the board of revenue from
carrying out all of the developments
contemplated and outlining the sys-
tenn to be inaugurated by the board
for the coming year in an effort to
keep all operating expenses within
the incomes available is being pre-
pared by the board and will probably
be adopted at the boards Friday
meeting.
Preparation of the statement fol-
lows several weeks of conference be-
tween members of the board and
heads of the various departments in
Jefferson county. one of the matters
to be given Special attention in the
statement is that regarding the in
auguration Of a budget system for
the; operation of all departments of
the county by which it is planned to
set aside a sufficient appropriation
for the operation of each department
and then require it to live within that
appropriation.
Check Departments
In order to arrive at what will be
a. fair and sufficient appropriation
for the annual maintenance of each
department members of the board
have for sometime been going oyer
the annual disbursements of each de-
partment for the year beginning Oc-
tober /, 1920, and ending September
80. 1921, and also complete statements
from each department head showing
the total receipts of each department
for the same period. According to
board members some of the depart
ments have not been living within
their incomes, which has resulted in
the necessity of taking money from
the receipts of several of the money
producing departments of the county
to aid In the upkeep of other depart-
ments whose expenses have exceeded
their receipts.
In order to prune the operating ex-
pepses of offices whose expenses have
exceeded their incomes 1t is not I'M

no official confirmation of these ru-
mors has been made. Board members
