though sqme counties have provisos
in their supply bills stating that the
county contribution ot the wages of
the auditor and the treasurer will
be reduced in proportion to the
amount that the state’s contribution
is raised. The increase in the state
contribution this year is scaled so j
that the smaller counties receive the
benefit of the boosted appropriation.
The contribution of the state to thej
salary of Laurens county’s auditor
j and treasurer is raised by $338 from
j the present $2,062 each to $2,4001
.each.
| The largest amount appropriated
! in the General. Assembly for the
J counties is the $1,890,000 allocated
j in the deficiency bill for the erection
j of county health centers and hospit-
I als. This amount may be used by
the counties with or without federal
matching funds, although it i? par
ticularly designed for use under the
funds for hospital construction. Each
county will obtain $30,000 from the
appropriation plus an additional $3,-
000 -for each member of the deie-
gatiorr frbifl the cBuhtyv' Laurens
county, which has a four-man legis
lative delegation, will thus, acquire
$42,000 for hospital and health center
construction.
Municipalities will acquire mo;^
money this year than last from s
alcoholic revenues, and countip^will
receive-considerably less 1 . Tme state
liquor tax distribution x rs redivided
by the general appfopriation act
for the next fiscaf year, so as to re
duce the present 25 per cent alloca
tion of the tax to counties to 20 per
cent, and to use the five per cent
difference to increase the allotment
of this revenue to counties from the 1
present ten per cent to 15 per cent.
Thus the counties, instead of ob
taining $3,500,000 as they would on
the 25 per cent allocation basis, will
receive an estimated $2,546,000.
Much controversy was aroused in
the legislature over whether or not
the distribution of state income tax
revenues to counties would be in
creased from seven to ten per cent,
which would have raised the county
distribution from $1,650,000 to about
$2,150,000. The income tax alloca
tion to counties was left at the pres
ent seven per cent level, but an in
creased estimate of revenue from the
tax raised the county share from
$1,650,000 to $1,875,000.
The other allocations of'state reve
nues to counties remained about the
same, with no changes made by the
general assembly. A total of $8,-
944,000 is anticipated in estimated
state revenue distributions to coun
ties next year, while municipalities
will receive about $2,796,500 out of
state, income sources.
I However, the report recognized (McGee - s Drug Store
that its conclusions ‘‘can be noth
ing more than a statement of
chances.”
The report said the farm popula
tion probably will continue to de
cline, and a trend toward fewer
and somewhat larger commercial j
farms will continue. • • |
