Total payment for agency and special funds. N. End of year balance, including bond building fund 56,926.00 Grand total payment, outgoing transfers and end of year balances $1,308,596.00 The school budget is required by law ( S. B. 180, passed in the 1964 Session of the General Assembly) to be advertised. It is an anticipated budget and any change in receipts or /and payments during the year will have to be approved by the budget department of the State Department of Education. Also, S. B. 180 changed the method for computing local financial effort for school systems. The law re quired a statewide study of property values by school districts and the ratio which property values in each school district bears to the total value of the State as a whole. Due to this new ratio method for assessing county school monies, Brantley County’s local effort was increased to $84,054.00 for the school year 1965- 66 as compared to $39,079.00 during 1964-65 term. In the last five years the local financial effort has been increased from $27,965.00 to $84,054.00. As this shows, school costs have risen along with other living cost. It is the sincere desire of all connected with the educational system that children put forth all the effort of their individual capabilities to war rant increased expenditures, thus taxpayers would not regret the extra cost. The Brantley Enterprise, Nahunta, Ga., Thursday, June 17, 1965 MABLE R. MOODY DEAN IS CHAIRMAN Tobacco Study Committee to Visit in Area Senator Roscoe E. Dean, chair man of the state Senate Interim Tobacco Study Committee, said this week that the committee would try to visit tobacco ware houses in every county to talk with growers and inquire of help needed on a local level. The committee chairman also said the findings would be re ported to the General Assembly of Georgia and sent to the state delegation in Washington. “I think that perhaps more funds for research on tobacco di seases, quality control, and to in crease yields are needed to offset acreage cuts,” Dean stated in an interview here. Dean, who represents Appling, Brantley, Bacon, Jeff Davis, Charlton, Camden, Pierce and Wayne Counties, is a tobacco grower and familiar with prob lems faced by the farmer. The Sixth District solon again blasted the unjustness of the tobacco acreage cut and acreage poundage controls. “I fought them all the way and will con tinue to exert every effort to see these bureaucratic regulations re moved,” Dean declared. He said Georgia growers of Type 14 tobacco may need to or ganize their own stabilization corporation. He also repeated his stand against the 1964 imposed three cents per pack on cigarett es, saying “this tax has hurt the tobacco grower.” Dean pointed out the need for farmers finding other cash crops to offset the loss of income from tobacco. “We need to cultivate a ‘recreation crop’ and farmers could open their lakes and woods to hunters and fishermen for addi tional income,” Dean said. He said he would call on the Extension Service to assist farm ers in finding new crops. Senator Dean said "rural tou rism” might be an income-pro ducer that farmers could pursue. “We could invite tourists to enjoy a rest vacation on our farms,” he pointed out. (Adv.)
