Area Director Urges Program Aid for Navajo Indians
Navajo-Hopi area director Allan G. Harper pressed officials in New Mexico for a joint US state and county drought relief program for Navajos.

Some Navajos may must move sheep or sell them while others rely on off-reservation work or welfare for winter.

County Tax Rate Cut Is Believed Probable
Indications show Maricopa County residents will spend more on government this year but with a likely lower tax rate. The board tentatively approved an $8,225,054 budget for 1951 52 and will wait on the Arizona State Tax Commission to set an assessment for El Paso Natural Gas Co. A higher utility assessment could lower the rate from 79 cents. The commission will rule before final budget approval. The courthouse expansion was trimmed from 500000 to 456000 under legal limits, with a suggestion to spread the project over time. The new budget would exceed last year by about 1% million dollars.
