e TO WIOCETS FOR
1941 SIC MSI
Longview, Tex., June 24.—
Biggest problem in making the
new county budgets for 1943,
now getting under way, will
be in handling the Road and
Bridge Fund, the tax depart-
ment of the East Texas Cham-
ber of Commerce points out.
Receipts for the county
Road and Bridge Fund are de-
rived for the most part from
two principal sources: their
respective shares of the auto-
mobile registration fees and
from ad valorem taxes.
Some East Texas County
Auditors are estimating their
automobile registration re-
ceipts for 1943 at 60 per cent
of those for 1941. County Au-
ditor Compton White of Fair-
field was the first to report
this basis -of estimate.
Connty Road and Bridge
spending in 1943 may be ex-
pected to drop. Budget appro-
priations will have to be less
became of less revenue.
Road machinery and repair
parts will be difficult to get—
a large item of county road
spending. Construction and
maintenance materials like-
wise will be hard to get. Some
shortage of county road labor
crews is expected by 1943.
Anticipated declines in the
use of county highways as car
and tire shortages make them-
selves felt likely will lesser,
construction and maintenance
demands for the duration.
