County Taxes
Not Expected
To Be Lowered
Commissioners Will
Have Hard Job Just
To Keep Miilagc
Rate From Rising

There is practically no chance
of next years county taxes be-
ing lowered.
In fact, county commissioners
believe they will have their hands
full trying to hold the millage
rate the same as in 1851.
One commissioner told The
Citizen that the road fund may
have to be cut to $50,000-in Or
der to hold the line"
He declared that next year the
county must levy for the Monroe
General Hospital. (The county
commissioners will run the inSti-
tuition in place of the present
board of trustees).
Repairs to the county court
house will be made; the county
Jail will be built in addition to
the other financial responsible
ties that fall due each year.

ing in the neiqhborhood
of $4,000 to $4,000.
Sirugo got a negative "a
sWcr when he asked Coun-
ty Attorney Paul Sawyer if
it were possible for the
county to put in streets and
assess the property owners.
Commissioner Harry Harris
argued that owners of land in
other areas of the county had
already spent tens OF thousands
of dollars and were still waiting
on their roads. Harris also de-
clared that there was no money
in the road fund, and that the
Sirugo request would have Ia
await next years budget.
The money now in the roaa
fund can not be expended until
, the next fiscal year. The budget
cd amount has already been ex-
cccded. Those funds available
next year are from gas tax re-
ccipts in excess of estimates.
Commissioner Joe Alien urged
no quibbling on the matter He
: thought that to spend a small
sum for roads in order to bring
a 100000 Investment into the
county was sound.
Commissioners Frank Bentley
declared that the homestead ex
caption would apply to the 81.
500 homes and the county would
get little returns.
To this argument. Sirugo an
nounced that he was construct

To the Harris statement, the
contractor said: Il admire your
spirit for fighting for the people
