Show Commissioner Adams Says 10 Per Cent of Taxpayers Can't Rule "I don't care what the state law is, but I can say one thing for sure: "Ten per cent of the tax-paying electors of the county aren't going to have the right to tell the other 90 per cent what they can do." That was the emphatic statement of County Commission Commis-sion Chairman Burton H. Adams, Pleasant Grove, regarding re-garding the law which allows 10 per cent of the tax-paying electors to sign a petition enabling en-abling a one mill on the dollar dol-lar tax for use in creating a county library. Commissioner Adams also stated that the county commission com-mission has never gone on record rec-ord as favoring a county library. li-brary. "We took a neutral position when the sponsors came to us, and we told them to go out and see how the people felt about the library. It is the commission's duty to conserve the taxpayer's money, not to spend it without knowing that it is badly needed," Commissioner Commis-sioner Adams said. |
