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

ir. to help set the size of the lev
ies and a few officials and other*

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
