Governor W. Lee O’Danidt,
today signed a bill returning'
to all counties half the ad va-

their borders for the state’s

Tlic remissions, whi£h would start
in 1941 and extend over a five- |
year period, are expected to take
around $3,500,000 a year from the
general fund which already has
an $18,000,000 deficit
