Show County Heads Approve Budget Funds for Mobile Labor Camp Added to Total The Cache county commission approved a , 1944 budget of $245,-972 $245,-972 after adding a $2000 item to the original proposed budget for the farm laboi etu.in-ftlie county coun-ty next season and $600 to the library fund. The total budget compares with a $241,499.75 budget in effect in 19943. The new figure probably can be raised on a levy, to be set next August, of 9.55 mills, as compared with a 9.50 levy this year, reported Clerk N. J. Crook-ston. Crook-ston. The $2000 labor camp appropriation appropria-tion was added Wednesday after commissioners voted to help finance, but not to sponsor, the mobile farm labor camp to operate oper-ate in the county next year. A committee arranging for the camp requested last week that the county sponsor the project. A committee from the county farm bureau and extension service ser-vice requested Wednesday that finances be provided to retain two secretaries in the county agent's office in 1944. The original origin-al appropriation for the office they said, did not provide enough salary sal-ary to retain one secretary who, for most of this year, was paid jointly by the extension service and the county AAA office. Since the moving of the AAA office, they said, the county must meet the entire expense. Commissioners said this could be arranged through transfor of unexpended funds in the agent's office without increasing increas-ing the $4445 appropriation for the office. L. W. Hovey, chairman of the Logan chamber of commerce tax committee, discussed the new budget with commissioners, approving ap-proving its provisions and suggest ing that any necessary projects should be conducted now when money is most easily available. Departmental totals in the approved ap-proved budget are: Commissioners, $5050; clerk, $11,-370; $11,-370; treasurer, $10,415; assessor, $8390; recorder, $8920; attorney, $214; sheriff, $9955; surveyor, $1662; irrigation and drainage taxes, $500; buildings and grounds $6640; juvenile court, $1200; fire department, $13,590; county agent's office, $4445; crop and pest department, $8985; road department, depart-ment, $40,000; county fair, $4400; , library, $3600; public health de-I de-I partment. $15,200; airport, $5000, I and public welfare department I $72,000. |
