Supervisors Cut Budget Items in Jones County Hearing

Jones County Board of Supervisors held a budget hearing last Tuesday with no objections. They reduced two items: state insane costs and county bond funds. State insane expenses rose due to miscellaneous tax collections and higher costs for feeble minded residents, shifting full care costs to the county. Bond funds were cut from 4000 to 38000 as bonds mature and dead funds cannot be touched for five years, with courthouse bonds due in 1946.
