cases are running from 50 to so
per cent above the present property
appraisals.

three hours in closed session draft
ing press release aimed at abat-
ing the wave of protests that have

Farmers Boat
The work on the statement fol-
lowed sharp comment from Coun-
ell President Lathrop Smith that
farmers had been in the same boat
a couple Of years ago. Mr.. Smith
said no one had paid anv attention
to the farmers since they We're a
minority and were considered
"cranks." The upcountv area was
reassessed by state officials and
many griped complaining Of the
sharp increases at that tine.
In its statement to the press the
council pointed to the skyrocketing
cost of operating the countv's
schools as the real cause of the
big increase in the county expense
budget.
The council pointed out that If
rext years appropriations were the
same as this years allotments, the
increased tax base would mean that
the tax rate could be cut.
Councilmen added. however, that
future tax rates depend upon q
number of fstors and that since the
new assessable base and the total
apnropriations for next year are
still unknown, it "is obviously i'm
possible to predict next years tax
rate"

The council then proceeded 20
point out that school costs amount
to 62.5 per cent of the total county
budget. School costs, the council-
men said, have increased fve-fold
curing the last 10 years while other
county expenses have only slightly
more than doubled
Although councilmen insisted
they were not accusing the board
of any unnecessary expenditures,
they pointedly noted that the coun-
ty population and the school en-
rollment have Approximately
doubled" during the same 10 year
period.
