Sitting in final hearing on the
1942-43 county budget Monday the
| supervisors increased the amount
of anticipated revenues from all
sources other than direct taxation
to completely eliminate the neces-
sity of general county levy
which last year amounted to S1.617
per one hundred dollars of assess
ed valuation.
Increased valuation on all pro-
perty within Pinal county together
with increased sales tax and other
revenues will probably reduce the
county tax rate for 1942-43 to
around 80 cents per hundred dol
lars as compared with a combined
county rate of SLIP in effect last
year, exclusive of all school dis
trict levys.
The official tax rate of all coun-
ty subdivisions will be set next
Monday when the board of super
vlsors will meet in Florence for
this purpose.
Total sales tax revenues for Pin
al county have been estimated for
the ensuing fiscal year by the state
tax commission as $165,276.72 COM
pared with a total of $132,90O esti-
mated last year although actual
receipts during the mast wear from
this source amounted to S173,S03.71.
Receipts from other sources for
next year have been estimated at
$69,125.57 although $S2,S2O.54 were
received from these sources last
year. Largest single item of other
sources" revenue received last
year was county hospital revenue
which amounted to $19 9,213.67.
In the 1942-43 county budget the
following items of general interest
have been set up:
Road fund, $S5,000 Treasurer,
100000 Supervisors, $4,000; Su-
perior Court, $500; Sheriff, $54,-
$50; School superintendent, $3.50;
Recorder, S6,S5O; Hospital 100000
Can increase of $4,000 over the
budgeted amount last year,; health

"include advertisements and un-
warranted publicity which create
the impression that extensive job
opportunities at higher pay exist
elsewhere. The goal of total pro
duction-industria and agricultur-

worker is on the job in which he
is most useful. In war times fair
pay is necessary and a major con
sideration; but the utmost useful
ness of each worker should be his
first concern"
Sullivan further said that al

ened by the excellent cooperation
OF many newspaper publishers who
have sought TO curb harmful ad-
vertising practices. reports indi-

Many instances of unnecessary
migration of workers, and the re

workers in one locality when they
are sorely needed elsewhere.
