State to Disburse County Poll Tax
The state board of equalization ruled all poll taxes from 100 counties must go to Raleigh for distribution with 75 percent remitted back to each county for maintenance of the school system and fixed charges. Rutherford County bears sole responsibility for funds from polls and fines, while other revenues stay with counties. The six month state school budget anticipates 1,300,000 from these sources, with funds expended locally for school purposes.
