Slash In COunty's Budget
Cuts Off Salary Of Fire
Chief And Three FiTGrlcI
Commissioners Took Up
Matters Last Night In
Connection With New
Millage Set

Melvin Russell county super
intendent Of schools. last night
announced a niEe mill school tax
levy as county commissioners
met in special session to study
their own reduced budget.
RusseIrs approved figure
marked . reduction of II mills
from last years 2s-miIl rate. but
increased school attendance here
enabled him TO win approval
from the state department of ed
ueation for a less severe slash
than that handed the commits.
sion The nine mill rate already
has been approved by the state
and is final.
-Four mills will be applied to
maintenance Of the special
school district. with 81 for the
general fund and I.3 for the in
debtedness fund.
In accepting RusselI's figure,
the commissioners revealed that
the I.3 mills levy for in
debtedness viii apply to Over
seas Road and Toll Bridge dis
trict, housing projects here, land
to be acquired by the federal
government and all property,
state or federal owned, which at
any time was eligible for the
levy.
Firemen Lose Pay
Ernest a Ramsey, discussing
the budget cuts made by Comp
troller J. NJ Lee in reducing the
millage rate from II to seven
mills, said the county no longer
will be able to pay $50 a month
to Fire Chief Harry Baker, and
three firemen previously on the
county payroll must be trans
ferred back to the city Baker
previously has been paid both by
the city and county, but Ramsey
said Lee informed him he would
not approve that expenditure
DR.. J. B. Parramore, whose
county clinic also came under the
comptroller's axe, urged the
board members to work out some
method of providing his depart
ment with funds, but the COM
missioners agreed there IS little
they can do.
Commissioner r. w. Craig,
who was not present at last
nights session, was empowered
to act on the request of upper
key residents that the recently
purchased fire pump be placed in
24-hour, rather than 12-hour,
service. Representatives Of key
citizens urged construction of e
public garage for the pump, in
order that it could be available
for use at all times.
Members of the board, after
accepting County Tax Assessor
Claude A Gandolfo's tax books.
voted to recess the session until
Oct. 80, when they will make a
full study of the budget and
again accept complaints against
Gandolfo's valuations. The board
previously had accepted the
complaints. but its action was
unofficial. since the books had
not then been approved by Lee.

ARMY TO DEFER BOYS OVER 2S.
3O-Days POstponements Ordered Pending Passage
 of National Bill

Local draft boards today are in receipt of telegram from draft headquarters in Hartford, ordering deferments for a 30 day period for men who have attained the age of % on O. before July 1st. 1e41.
 The action is in compliance with orders received by the state body from National headquarters.
 Authority for the move is the opinion of congressmen that there is no differmence of opinion as to the merits of the age provisions of the bill to defer men who have at- tained the age of 2S years on or be- fore July l, 1941".
 Although the measure has not been adopted, selective service agencies in the state are instructed to give 30-day poStponements of induction to these men, pending passage of the bill. In the event thaht the bill is not passed, they will be sub iect to induction in the normal man. ner, upon the expiration of the period of postponement.
 The telegram adds Gas the bill is now written, men who have att tatned the age of 28, on or before July 1st, will be subject to dis charge if inducted on or after July 1st."
 It is estimator that approximately 8 million men between the ages of % ard 36 are affected by the meas ure 1f1roughoutt he nation. This numeer is part of the group of 16,- 500,00O who registered for selective service last October 18th.
 The order for temporary defer mene was issued in Washington, D c. yesterday by General Lewis B Hershey, deputy selective service di- rector.
