month.
Most Mississippi counties today buy
supplies where, when and from whom the
various county officers choose. AS a re-
suit prices paid are usually higher and
there is waste and some duplication.
The central system of having one pur-
chasing office should function well and
save the county money.
Supervisors of Holmes County might
be interested in Investigating a similar
move for our own county.
Certainly it would kill the widely pre-
vailing notion among many citizens,
whether true or false, that some county
officials get a percentage or rebate" on
items and services purchased with tax
payers money.

Central Purchasing Agency

Kinds County supervisors took a ire
mendous step forward when they decided
to establish a central purchasing agency
for the county = a move made in the
best tradition of a business administra-
tion of public affairs, rather than a poll
tical one.
In these days of initiation any action
directed to easing the strain on the tax
payers pocketbook deserves our plaudits
and should be emulated in other counties
in the state.
Actually the savings to Kinds tax
payers, as a result of establishing a cen
trail purchasing agency, will be consider
able.
It is estimated a full fifteen per cent
may be saved = and in Kinds County this
could easily run in excess of $4,000 per
