TEST ROLLINS’ SUIT
Commissioners Tlo Liet Supreme Court
Rule on Authority of County
Board on Items In Budget
for Schools
Property owners who have not list
ed their holdings for 1932 taxes, some
250 or more of whom were reported
to the Vance Board of County Com
missioners yesterday by G. W. Adams,
county accountant, were ordered noti
fied by the board to come in at once
and list their property. Mr. Adams
advised the board that property in
volved, and which has not been put on
the books, aggregated more than $42,-
000.
The board also decided to carry to
the State Supreme Court for a ruling
the action brought by E M. Rollins,
city-county superintendent of schools
for inclusion in the budget of S6OO
salary voted tf> him by the education
boards as hite salary for the current,
year as superintendent of the city
schools. G. W. Khott, chairman of
the city school board, and J. H.
Bridgers, attorney for the superinten
dent. appeared before the board in the
interest of having the item included
for payment, and were Informed of
the board’s action..
Last year a S9OO-iterii for the city
salary was included in the budget and
was resisted by the commissioners,
who lost in an appeal to the State
Supreme Court. The commissioners, it
is understood, hold this time that
they never did approve the S6OO item
for this year, and that it never lias
been placed in the budget by tJieir
approval. On that ground they are
seeking a further ruling.
K. P. Davis, county jailor, reported
to the commissioners there were 625
jail days during December, and that
during that time there were 53 pri
soners in the jail at one time or an
other. He reported 28 in the jail at
the end of the month.
