New County Fiscal Outline
Proposes Heavy Tax Cuts
Board Sets
Public Hearing
On June Is

A tentative statement of coun-
ty revenues and expenditures
anticipated for the 1928 fiscal
year, which would permit a
$3.50 decrease in. real estate and
personal property levies was
ordered published for public in
formation Wednesday by the
Prince Edward county board of
supervisors.
The 1854 1889 outline of esti-
mated revenues and contem-
plated expenditures provides one
educational item. a S360,000 allo-
cation for elementary and sec
ondary educational grants for
private schooling.
Under the tentative proposal.
the present $3.50 levy on real
estate, personal property and
machinery and tools would be
reduced to 81. That would be, if
finally adopted, the lowest rate
ever imposed.
The proposed levy on mer-
chants capital would be slashed
in half, from the present so
cents per 500 valuation to 80
cents.
Public Hearing
The supervisors set a public
hearing on the proposed fiscal
outline and the levies for Fri
day. June Is. at 10 am, DIST in
the Circuit Court Room. Then
the board will hear public senti-
ment before reaching a final de-
cision on the fiscal guide and
the tax levies.
The slash in Ieties is tied in
with balance in the county gen
eral revenue fund Of $500, 900 an
ticipated at the June 80 end of
the current fiscal year. This has
accumulated during the past two
years.
In both years, the board pro-
vided, through tax levies. sui
ficient funds for educational
grants for all white and Negro
children of school age in the
county. In 1960-61, Negro par
ents did not avail themselves of
this financial aid and the funds
carried over For the past year,
federal court injunction has
not permitted expenditure of
educational grants for anyone.
thus increasing the balance.
Depends on Court
The S360,o0O item for educa-
tional grants in the proposed
outline would finance county
grants, transportation grants
and permit tax credits if the
court Injunction is lifted.
The school board has calcu-
lated 1916 school age children
in the county Of all races. The
proposed ALLEGATION would make
the educational grants to all par
ents for private or public school
ing outside the county.
The proposed fiscal guide,
which under present Virginia
law, is not a commitment on
the board until supporting ap-
preparations are made later as
needs arise, provides in full for
all other necessary public func-
tons and services. These in
clude welfare. health. agricul-
ture. property maintenance,
school debt retirement and the
operation Of all local govern
ment Offices.
The board was unanimous in
its resolution calling for publ
cation Of the tentative fiscal
guide to permit public study.
There was some preliminary
discussion, however, of a lower
rate Of proposed levy before the
81 rate was agreed on.
The proposed levies would
raise Sl23,67O in local funds
against s413,294 raised by the
current $3.50 levy.

However he was found. floating
calmly in a life raft. alongside

were racing to the location to
rescue the capsule. His speed
was reported at 1882 mph and
his altitude was estimated to
vary from SO to 1854 miles above
the earth. Carpenter. 81, lieu

A JETLINER with As persons
aboard apparently fell apart in
the skies over Missouri Tuesday
night. Wreckage was scattered
over a wide area near the Mis-
souri, Iowa border. The only
known survivor, found after an
all-night search, died 80 minutes
after being taken to a hospital.
A violent storm was believed to
have caused the tragedy, but
federal aviation authorities are
investigating.

Bright was playing in Longs

despite his .329 batting average,
