Kinkaid Lake Appropriation Outlined for District
A 63400 appropriation ordinance was approved for the Kinkaid and Reeds Creek Conservancy District in Jackson County. The measure serves as a model for future funding and a tax levy will be prepared for August, with first tax funds available in July 1964. Crisenberry noted federal aid requires local funds earmarked, and a full time manager may be hired in summer 1964. The plan allocates 29100 for salaries and fees and 13800 for administration, with 21000 for acquisition and construction. District office space is rented in Murphysboro, and private loans will cover minimal expenditures until tax money arrives.
