Excerpt from Popular Government, Vol. 31: June 1963

An additional problem lies in money, for all counties will be faced with increased demands for services, and these increased demands will mean higher taxes. In large counties, higher taxes will be necessary to meet the costs of. Growth, and these costs will probably continue to out run the growth in the tax base. In small counties, higher taxes will be necessary to provide services comparable to those available in the larger population centers. To many pepple, further increases in property taxes are unthinkable. Yet many thought ten years ago that property taxes then had reached the limit, and still they have doubled in volume since.

There is one thing worse than higher taxes, and that is the consequences of failure to meet the demands for increased services. If the demands are not met, people will turn to Raleigh and Washington for help, and past history tells us that there the call will be answered. Generally speaking it has proven true that the demands for services are stronger than the demands for economy in government, and the greatest threat that faces county government in the years ahead lies in failing to provide that which people Want and demand.
