County Adopts $1.14 Six Month Tax Rate Amid Budget Cuts
County commissioners set a six month tax rate of 1.14 dollars, aiming to reduce the state tax burden by pairing roads funds with state aid. The move trims school and maintenance budgets, reserves about 100000 for courthouse work, and projects state aid coming later to avoid higher local levies. Also notes deaths of Edwards Grove and Anna Hoch with funeral details and local businessman Lawrence Grove.

Goldwater Still Leading GOP Choice Despite Nixon Gains
A second Associated Press survey of 1,36 GOP county chairmen shows Barry Goldwater remains the party’s strongest candidate but Nixon has surged since Kennedy’s death. Goldwater drops from 85.1% to about 44.2% as Nixon rises, with Lodge and Rockefeller also noted. The results reflect a GOP move after Kennedy’s assassination and a possible shift toward a later nomination.
