COUNTY SUPPLY MEASURE SHOWS MINOR CHANGE The County Supply Bill for 1947-48 carries appropriations of $187,540.48 as compared with ap propriations of $126,402.50 for 1946-47. This difference is ac counted for largely by the in crease of fifteen per cent in sal aries given to all county em ployees to cover increased costs of living and by the appropria tion of $65,000 for road mainten ance. I n 1946-47 only $20,000 was was appropriated directly for road maintenance and the bal ance of the approximately $65,- 000 spent for road maintenance was accounted for by the gasoline taxes received by the county and used for this purpose. During the coming fiscal year the di rect appropriation of $65,000 will cover all expenditures for road maintenance and all funds re reived from gasoline taxes will go into the County Treasury. Estimated revenue from the state of South Carolina in gaso line, income, liqour, beer, and wine and miscellaneous taxes will be $179,500 as opposed to the estimated revenue carried in the 1946-47 Supply Bill of $122,- 500.00 The amount to be raised by taxation under the new Supply Bill will be approximately $8,- 000 or one mill for ordinary county purposes. Another change in the new Supply Bill is the policy adopted by the Delegation of having the County Board of Commissioners approve all expenditures from the miscellaneous contingent fund. Heretofore, any amounts in excess of $100.00 from this fund could be expended upon fee written approval of a mapor- ity of the Legislative Delegation. The Legislative Delegation feels that all executive and admini strative functions should be per formed by the County Board of Commissioners and that only the legislative function of passing legislation and appropriating the money to run fee county should be performed by the legislative delegation.
