Commissioners
Reaffirm Position
On Bill Payment

The board of county commits
sioners reaffirmed its position
relative to bills being presented
for payment where an authoriZa-
ton was not granted.
A spokesman for the board
stated Tuesday that under no
consideration will payment on
any bill be allowed where an
authorization or requisition has

well understand the position and
policy maintained by the board.
Officials are permitted to
make purchases which do not
exceed $500. In the event the
purchase amounts to a larger
sum, only then will payment be
allowed where a requisition has
been prepared by the clerk of
the board of commissioners.

With large part of the area

with respect to the large number
