MORE REVISION FACES ITEMS ON COUNTY BUDGET

Tax Adjustment Board to Get Proposals for 52-Cent Levy.

County officials, who yesterday saw their department budgets slashed by the County Couneil, today faced the possibility of reductions by the County Tax Adjustment Board Tuesday. The budget as approved by the Council provides for a levy of 52 cents on each $100 taxable property. On the basis of the latest valuation, the levy fixed would raise -approximately $3,127,000.

The 52-cent levy is an increase of | 8- eents over the 1937 tax rate and|

5.6 cents less than requested. Approximately $337,800 in funds to be raised by taxation was cut from the budgets originally sub- . mitted to the Council.

Bond Policy Held Factor County members said the levy in-

the policy of refunding bonds. By a unanimous vote, the Council adopted a “pay-as-you-go” policy. Al Deluse, Council member, said “the plan of paying as vou go was ‘bound to come some time and we might as well start now.” The general fund budget was cu from $1,575,268 to. $1,445.259, a re-
