The members of the Court discussed in detail the fact that the Road and Br
idgs Fund and the 0ea-
'
,
oral Fund of the County are both being depleted by normal expenses to the point that
at least In the
,
General Fund, a deficit would undoubtedly be created betbre the and of the
aomiteg fiscal year. The
County Judge as budget officer reported that a tan cent reduction in the county tax rate would be recome,
I'
mended for the 1952 budget to be prepared and submitted to the Court during the month of July, 1951. In
I `
view of the foregoing and because of the urgent necessity for additional money in the Road and Bridge
Fund and the General Fund, both of which are now supported by tax levies to the Constitutional limit, it
:
was the unanimous decision of the members of the Court that for the tax year of 1951 the county tax rate
