Mendocino Supervisors OK Budget With Tax Reduction Hopes
Mendocino County Supervisors approved a 1968-69 budget of 11,993,684, a modest 3.3 percent increase from 1967-68. County taxpayers still hope for a reduction from the $3.61 tax rate, aided by cuts after two weeks of budget hearings and reorganizations led by County Administrator Al Beltrami. The current figure trims $383,964 from the preliminary budget and $427,106 from initial department requests, with the tax rate history tracing back to 1960-61 trends toward possible relief.

Rate of Gain Sale at Pavilion of Champions Saturday
The Rate of Gain sale features judging live in the ring and post mortem carcass evaluation. Young bidders are limited to 5 cents per pound of actual market price. Organizers criticise typical sales as giveaways and publicity-driven losses. Originating 1962 at Cal Poly, the program trains youths to raise efficient, cost-conscious animals. Participants use local calves and lambs, weaning them then wintering before a 130 day feeding and record-keeping phase.

Inspector Drops Plan For County Mobile Home Inspections
County Building Inspector Ray Hiatt told the Board of Supervisors he is dropping for now the effort to amend the mobile home ordinance to allow county inspection of individual trailers for health and safety and to finance an extra full time inspector. The board postponed the agricultural preserve act applications and a road abandonment hearing, set Sept 24 for a Brooktrails performance bond issue, and discussed the dual roles of Brooktrails officials and engineers. A public hearing on agricultural zoning near Talmage Road south area was scheduled for Sept 17. The board noted about five percent of county employees have asked for AFL CIO representation and recognized them as bargaining representatives.
