Capital improvements for
County Add Up to $49.8
Millions Report Shows

Come next Tuesday Montgom-
cry County will have issued some
$49.8 million worth of bonds to
cover the cost of capital improve
ments.
And the present county council
has had a hand in selling some
$34.7 million worth of this in
its four years in office
Next Tuesdays sale will be
for $6,850,000 with about 81 mil
lion of this going for school pro-
jects.
Schools have gotten the lions
share of the capital funds with
some 1854 million being spent
in the 10 year period. The pre-
sent council has spent more than
$26 million for school construc-
ton in an effort to keep up with
the mushrooming post war popu-
lation growth.
The figures were made public
Tuesday in a series of reports
including the annual financial re-
port submitted by special ac-

finance director.
The reports indicated the cost
of school operation and debt ser.
vice has gone up from 44.8 per
cent of the total expense budget
in 1913 to 627 per cent last year.
MIR. Hancock's report also noted
the council started the present
fiscal year with an unprecedented
$389,084 general funds surplus.
The report showed that al.

year for capital projects to put
them on a pay as you go basis,
some $358,468, more than usual,
was used to balance the operat,
ing budget and hold down the
tax rate.
Mr.. Hancock recommended
against such a practice and said
that in the long run the taxpayer
would be served better by hold
ing down the amount of bond
issues.
