The President always has

money. This was the first year
the county was required by
State law to include all prev
iously allocated funds of this
kind in the budget figures.
Previously it had been listed
separately. The present budget,
including construction funds,
is $48.5 million.
A big feature of the budget
is the request for 200 voting
machines, urged for some time
by county political groups.
Big Salary Item
Mr.. Massey's budget sug-
gested acquiring the machines
on a purchase-rental system at
$50,00O a year for 10 years.
This money includes transpor-
tation and storage, a big part
of the cost, according to Mr..
Massey.
Salaries for workers who
Would operate the machines
would come to $36,926.
The budget also asks a 5 per
cent across-the-board pay
raise for 1,700 county employees.
They received a az per cent
raise last year.
Mr.. Massey urged supervisors
to adopt a pay raise "at the
earliest possible time to help
reduce our excessive personnel
turnover" and to aid in hiring
qualified workers.
The raise would cost the
county about $4,000. The
police, who have been having
hiring problems, want a S per
cent raise now and another
5 per cent in July.
The preliminary budget fig
ures do not indicate a final
amount or final tax rate be-
cause the budgets traditionally
are cut by the supervisors and
by the school board.
The supervisors can cut the
school board budget by an over
all amount. The school board
then must decide what it wants
to spend its money on.
