COUNTY BUDGET
(Continued from PAGE ONE)
the scholastic apportionment from
$25 to $30 and use $5 increase in
part to pay some of the yearly
rural school aid appropriation of
$9,830,000. Because this appropria-
tion is aid out of the general
fund the fund’s deficit would de-
crease by whatever amount of
rural aid that could be assumed
from the excess in apportionment
which is paid from the available
school fund.
The available school fund tax
rate of 10 cents is estimated to be
enough to pay the $25 apportion-
ment. Had the governor’s plan
attempted the rate would have
been set at 28 to 30 cents, still a
reduction from last year.
. Stevenson asserted some oppo-
sition to his suggestion resulted
from misunderstanding since pro-
ponents failed to comprehend that
schools would lose none of the
state financial aid already auth-
orized by state law and that some
even would receive more than
they now are eligible to receive.
He estimated his plan would cut
the general fund deficit $5,000,000
a year for the next two years.

Tighter Supplemental
Gas Rations Ordered
With an expected deficit of three
million tires within the next six
months, the OPA has asked that
all war price and rationing boards
tighten up on supplemental gaso-
line rations. It is held imperative
that all but essential mileage in
this district be reduced because
of the acute tire shortage and
since there is little promise of
synthetic tires in quantity for ci-
vilian use in the immediate future.
An enforcement program has
already been put into effect in
the Lubbock district guarding
against theft of gasoline books,
periodical checks of gasoline sta-
tions for compliance, and a cam-
paign against the trading of cou-
pons and transferring them after
expiration dates.
To help ease essential car own-
ers, especially farmers, ranchers
and other vehicle owners in rural
areas during the acute period the
OPA urged the use of the so-called
“emergency” tire. He added that
there were approximately 200,000
such tires in the fifth region which
includes Texas, Louisiana, Okla-
homa, Arkansas and Missouri.
These tires are not recappable but
are repairable and are for limited
service but they will enable many
a farmer and rural passenger car
operator to keep his car going
through the present crisis.
persons who wish to surrender
such books or ask for correction
should be instructed to forward
same themselves with a letter son-
taining complete information ta
the control center at the above ad-
dress.
