Local Debts Paid In 1931

that rvo county, city or town can issue
tax anticipation notes or bon cm with
out the approval of the Local Gov
ernment Commission, but with the
provision that the people of the coun
ty. city or town may. by a direct vote
of u majority of the voters, issue the
bonds or notes even if the commis
sion has refused its permission. There
fore. the Local Government Commis
sion does not deny the counties, cities
and towns the right to contract a debt
as some have claimed, since a ma
jority of the qualified voters of any
subdivision, may levy the additional
taxes and issue the bonds. So, instead
of an act tending to centralize power,
as some have claimed, the local gov
ernment law really decentralizes pow
er and in fact returns it to the peo
ple. giving a majority of the voters
in any subdivision the power to over
rule the Local Government Commis
sion, if they desire to do so.
“Another item of large saving that
has resulted from this act, is the sys
tem of auditing established by Mr.
Johnson," Governor Gardner soid.
"The 1929 General Assembly passed
an act requiring contracts for all
county auditing to be approved by
Mr. Johnson, as well as the payment
for service rendered. Prior to this time
many counties had paid as much as
3.5,000 for singlee audits, with no
provisions for preventing a recurrence
of abuses. The first year of the opera
tion of the 1929 act, affecting audit
ing, the counties were saved $89,897
and the auditing was done on a uni
form basis, with a permanent value t<*
the counties.
“In 1931 the General Assembly mov
ed forward and made the 1929 audit
ing act apply to cities and towns and
special charter districts as well as to
counties. Present indications are that
this will save the cities, towns and
districts at least $85,000 this year.
There are directs savings to the tax
payer and have a direct bearing on
the public pocket book."

tina has trebled.
