Instances are cited where public officials of preserving these funds are employing them for other purposes, contrary to law. ..The Taxpayer quotes the statutes.' on this subject and raises a warning voice against the continuation of this illegal practice. It is an impostion upon the confidence of the public, . says the Taxpayer, to raise this mon- ey to meet their bonded debt and then to find it dissipated when tha time arrives for the payment of the . bond obligations. The same issue outlines a secies of recommendation for city and county officials that are now engaged in budgeting. It urges that the budget t shall represent the ability of the people to pay, that the economic condi- tion of tha taxing unit shall be considered and that a thorough analysis of the proposed budget should be had between the public officials and the taxpayers before final approval. ad , - |
