Auto License Office Funds Sought In Suit
A suit filed in Superior Court seeks to compel the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to transfer funds from the county general fund to cover the automobile license plate department budget of 65000 annually. County assessor W. E. Stanford says the department cannot meet payroll and works largely on tax collection. Revenue from plate sales averages about 50 dollars per day, insufficient for operating needs. An order to show cause and a hearing date are expected within about ten days.
