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
