70 a hospital and $4,000 worth of
property damage. This figure
only includes accidents investi-
gated by the patrol and is not

Mayor PsaII Hopes
For State Aid
To municipalities

Mayor A. S. Povail expressed
confidence today that the egis-
lature, which he praised as one
,of the most constructive law
making groups in the recent his
tory of the state. will provide
some form of permanent and prsc-
tical relief to Mississippi's hard
pressed municipalities.
Mayor Povall called attention
to the fact that the present legis-
lature rnfognized the common
problems facing all municipal
ties in 1913 when nt made an en-
Urgency appropriation of S2,5o0.00
and, at the same time, set up a
Municipal Affairs Study Commit

Their relief.
He also cited the statement Of
Gov. Fielding L. Wright in his re-

in waich he said that "a prosper

prosperous government units

Lawmakers would see fit TO -af-

"A prosperous state requires

been afforded the counties in this

them of the obligation of main-

"A committee appointed by this

offered YOU a program to pnovlde

MEG Analyses
Trumans Budget
For 1850

Ii Congress should adopt in full
the 42.4 billion dollar budget pro-
posed by President TrEman for
the fiscal year ending June 30,
1851, Holmes county taxpayers
will be required to pay out APP
proximately $4,000 as their
share of the cusl of this spending
program.
This estimate has been made hy
the Mississippi Economic council.
in "a statement haSedmr an analg-
sis of the presidents budget RE-
commendations submitted to Con-
gress. The MEG estimates thst
Mississippi's share Of che propas-
ed budget is :S3Ul Biz $500. This
figure is based on the fact that
Mississippi residents and taxpay-
ers presently hear n per cent anf
the total federal tax harden.
The councils economic index of
Mississippi shows that Holmes
cnr,nty residents and taxpayers
pay 1.02 per cent of the total tax
biH in Mississippi.
The presidents proposed budget
does not tell the whole story, the
councils statement said. since II
does not include social security
programs financed by payroll
taxes dedicated to these purposes,
which do not appear in the budget
proper.
''Tbese social welfare programs
already exact millions eli dollars
annually from Mississippi wage
and salary earns in the form OF
taxes deducted from their pay
checks" the councils statement
added. IF Congress should APP
prove the presidents new propo-
sails, payroll taxes wall rise sharp
ly when the new programs get IN
full operation. The people Of Mis-
sissippi should be fully aware OF
these facts as to the cost OF such
programs. The council has made
the breakdown of approximate
costs to all counties so taxpayers
may know the proposed tax bur-
den as outlined by the president.
