This action followed speedy gpproval last pight by the board by a vote of 5 to 2 of an $8 million county government budget without examination of a single item of proposed expenditures. One member of the board, Robert Schreiber, said he voted against the blanket approval of the county budget “because I never had a chance to look at it.” “The procedure seemed to me a little high handed, but the budget would have been passed anyway and I have no further protest to make,” Mr, Schrieber said. ‘Technical’ Protest "Phillip L. Bayt, City controller, the other member of the tax hoard who voted against speedy Approval of the county budget, said his position was merely a technical one involving a principle that “I will not vote for a budget unless I first study it.” Mr. Bayt said he would offer no protest against approval of the county budget with a tax rate of 641; cents as submitted by the County Council. C. 8. Ober, chairman of the tax board, said the county budget was approved on reports from tax experts that nothing could be trimmed from it, He explained that the 8414 -cent rate was 121; cents higher thin the current levy but that 9 cents of the increase was mandatory to finance real estate assessments next year.
