PRRCINCT 4 COUNTY Commis-
sioner Curtis Bakke is again be-
ing forced to show why tax money
paid by persons living in Precinct
4 should not be taken away from
Precinct 4 and divided between
Precincts 2 and 3. We are not a
communistic nation, and there is
no reason why the communistic
theory of dividing everything equal-
ly should be practiced in our
county government.
RULING OF fhe Attorney Gen-
eral is ad valorem taxes collected
in a city or precinct, should, in so
far as possible, be spent within
those bounds. Meridian citizens
would not think they had any
claim to the tax money paid to
Clifton by Clifton residenta. Why
should County Precincts feel that
they have the right to tax money
paid in another precinct?
IT HAS BEEN recognixed by
the Attorney General’s office that
where money is needed in one
precinct that will benefit other
precincts also, then all precincts
should contribute to the project.
Therefore, the burden of proof
should be on Commissioners of
Precincts 2 and 3 to show why their
precincts should be entitled to
monies provided by the taxpayers
of Precinct 4. By law they must
show real and just cause before
any such action would be legal.
PRESENTLY, the four precincts
are dividing the automobile license
money and the bond refund money
equally. Unless the other precincts
can show just cause, to divide the
ad valorem taxes equally would
not only be illegal, but justly un-
fair.
MORE THAN the usual amount
of news arrived this week; space
is lacking for much of it, but it
will be published this coming
week.
