Wild Orgy Of Spending Judge Bandy Sees Tax Increase In 1949
Sullivan County Judge T R Bandy warned in his January court report that county funds are at their worst for this period in years. With bonded debt near 3.8 million dollars including 2.024 million in school bonds he said taxes will have to rise substantially and that a spending spree could push rates higher unless property values rise. He urged increasing assessed value toward 100 million, noted 1948 assessments around 49 million, and called for restraint on new school bonds until debt totals are known. He cited fund balances and stated that the ordinary cash remains 24 thousand dollars with the interest fund overdrawn.

Nation Winning Cold War Fight
President Truman is expected to tell Congress that the United States is winning the first stage of the Cold War against Russia. Advisers see 1948 as a year of gains in unifying Western anti Communist nations and building economic and military power, while warning that a costly campaign lies ahead including military support for Western Europe. The Kremlin’s Berlin blockade and pressure in Asia are cited as counter moves. Some fear a new Soviet peace offensive to disarm Western fears, while others expect a tactical truce to gain time for a future push. A false show of friendship from Moscow is viewed as a dangerous weapon if used to fracture Western unity. The article notes a gradual disappearance of neutral sentiment over the past year.
