A 9 am public hearing at the courthouse reviews the county's proposed 2 637 849 dollar budget for 1960 61 starting in October. The budget rises 189 850 dollars due to higher property valuations, with millage at 22.40 mills down 1.10 from last year.

Welfare costs rise about 54 000 dollars and hospital costs for Waterman Memorial Hospital seek 73 533 dollars more. Sheriff’s budget climbs with higher valuation, totaling 264 100 dollars, up 10 450 from last year, funded mainly by county taxes plus fines and carryovers.
