City was providing the accounting and billing the County on a quarterly basis and that, while
the City did provide a detail of the expenditures, the County's funds were not budgeted in the

line items. He recommended that the County budget be amended by combining the line items in
the Planning Budget into one item -- Contributions-Other Agencies.

Board's feeling that unnecessary school bussing should be eliminated to conserve energy.
DISCUSSION OF RATIONING GAS
Commissioner Hall stated that he would like for the Chairman to write the Congressmen
to express the Board's feeling that a high tax on gasoline to prohibit its use would work to
the punishment of less affluent citizens because the rich man could.afford to buy his gas
regardless of the tax and that the Board felt that rationing would be a more equitable means
of limiting fuel.
Commissioner Wright stated that she did not agree with this point of view.
Commissioner Powell suggested the possibility of a combination of rationing and a surtax.
