Brisbine W. M. R. V. ixroanart, secretary Taxpayers who attend budget meetings, either in an offle al or unofficial, capacity often want some special item included but hope that the total levied against them will be smaller than before. There were no unofficial tax payers at the county budget meet ing last Wednesday, just the three men who had been called ir. to help set the size of the lev ies and a few officials and other* vrho had business with the court- That, in itself, could give a k vying body confidence that there was no urgent demands for or against taxes.. The budgeteers very decidedly favored rasing some tax money now to be used later for road purposes. The de tails of getting it set aside didn’t concern them, nor did the small er budget item*. They wanted a big sinking fund It is too late for an observation on th* poavible long time result of such * demand. Reasoning be hind the request for a big sink ing fund is that we will need the n.oney to employ returned sold iers after the war and thrt farmers will not have so much money 4Kth which to pay them. That is sound reasoning. However * habit of levying get as possible can grow oh a fWMwmnity or a county. And TONS Ä or Ä ,. TRODBIE Moro . Lodge No. 113, I.O.O F.
