YMCA CAMP BENEFIT Children 50c ECS Misunderstanding Results in Error A misunderstanding in com piling the final 1956-57 Jackson county budget was made Satur day, with the result that the total given was $120 more than the approved figure, it was pointed out today by County Commissioners Chaester Wendt and L. G. Morthland. The corrected budget totals $2,645,269.07. Wendt and Morthland said the misunderstanding arose over the sheriff's salary. At the end of the budget hearing last Friday, the budget committee approved $5,400 as the sheriff's salary. The commissioners said the fig ure was announced, incorrectly, as $5,520 Saturday morning. The error was subsequently cor rected and the sheriffs salary now stands at $5,400 as was or iginally approved, they said. The revised budget shows the sheriff's salary has been increas ed from last year by $400. Also receiving salary increases this year are six other elected officials, 10 sheriff's deputies, chief deputies in three other de partments, two county farm home superintendents and two road department employees. This year's budget calls for no tax levy. Sanitation Officials Announce Reminder County sanitation authorities today reminded residents to wrap all garbage before placing it in garbage cans and to keep lids tightly placed on garbage containers. They said a larger than usual outbreak of flies is now appar ent in the county. In a recent tour of the county, officials noted many improperly covered garbage cans. They stated this, combined with a more moist at mosphere than usual, increases the fly population. If the flies are not controlled now, they warned, they will be come a really serious problem when fruit harvest starts. The sanitarians urged residents to furthem help control the insects by use of any general fly spray.
