Sherman County Budget Committee >
Makes Total Cut of $37,718.50 in
Amount Proposed For 1931 Taxes
More interest was manifested at the meeting of the county budget com­
mittee for Sherman county at its initial meeting thia week than has ever been
evidenced before by the general tax paying public. Conditions have
changed very materially since the voters of Sherman county at a general,
election some yars ago voted to pay a two years tax in one year and wrote
into the state constitution a tax measure tQ continue the paying of the
same tax indefinitely. Now, this year, the people all over the state want *1
to pay less taxes than ever*before; in state, county, city and school upkeep.
At a meeting of the county budget committee held this week in Moro,
the tax budget prepared by the committee is $37,718.60 lesa than the
adopted budget under wffiich the county carried in its financial affairs for
the year now closing. .This budget as now prepared is subject to approval
and modification at d public hearing to be held in the near future at which
time final action will be taken as to just how much tax will be voted for
county affairs for the coming ydar and also determine where the money
will be spent.
, <
The amount that has been taken from the county budget and the items
that will be affected by the reduction are printed below, in tabulated form,
showing the items as voted for last year and the same items with their
proposed amounts allowed each in comparative columns. The entire coun­
ty budget is not printed here, only the items that have been chapged in the
amounts allowed.

The measure of Electric Service is as accur­

is tested to ensure that you pay only for
