David S. Taylor. Young’s Gulf Stati • 1 24-Hour Service 212 N. Broad Phone 833-1487 Charlie and CorroU ’ Young Rep. Marshall Abercrombie, secretary of the delegation and ordinarily the source of legisla tive information, was not imme diately available when notes on this report were being compiled. Rep. Taylor said that the bill in most instances was practically the same as previously reported in the press. Those reports show ed an increase of about $100,000 in appropriations over the year 1962-63, which closes June 30 of this year. Rep. Tpylor said that he was convinced that the coun ty’s general fund would show a surplus of about $79,000 at the end of June of this year and that this surplus, plus other increased revenue, would take care of the $100,000 increase in the new bill, making it possible to balance the county’s ordinary expense bud get without increasing the pres ent 14 mill tax levy. / Rep. Taylor mentioned two changes in the contingent fund item mentioned in the original draft of the bill before its for mal introduction. One of the changes was a reduction in the contingent fund from $30,000 to $10,000. The other was the elimi nation of. the paragraph provid ing how the fund could be spent. As originally written it required the approval of a majority of the deelgation, including the Senator, before anything could be paid out of that fund. As passed on second reading in the House, the dele gation would have no say-so as to expenditures from that fund, although Sen. King Dixon could have the eliminated paragraph restored in the Senate. “I don’t want to have anything to do with passing on claims filed with the Commissioners,” Rep. Taylor said. (Under legislative procedure, the bill may be amended by Sen ator Dixon and sent back to the House for approval. If the House refuses its approval, the bill will be forced into a legislative con ference for solution. If the dif Rites On Saturday For R. 6. Watson Robert G.
