aflnh " + ~a~F 14 I want my position perfectly clear on the 1 additional sales tax. After, and I repeat after, the revaluation figures are presented to the board (which should be before or by December 31, 1971) then, if necessary; we can show our people that additional revenue is needed to support our public school system, other departments and our capitol improvements and that the greatest per tentage of any additional revenue would be used for these definite purposes, in lieu of raising property taxes, then I would definitely vote for an additional 1 ~ sales tax. Since there are some of you on this board that con- tinue to insist that a vote be taken now--and before revalu- ation is completed and before we definitely know how and where this money is to be spent, I, today, vote NO and ' request that this statement be recorded in the, minutes of this meeting. Signed: Gordon Wicker Signed: Perry White " Commissioner Gordon A. Wicker moved that the Board appropriate $800. 00 from the unappropriated surplus in the General' Fund to the Civil Defense Fund for the purpose of purchasing an automobile for use by the Director and that consent of the Board be given to the sale and disposition of the Ramble rautomobile presently provided for the Director's use.
