REPORT ON TAX RECEIPTS DISTRIBUTION FORMULA FOR VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENTS: Mr. Dan Lowrance represented the volunteer fire department tax district in reference to the present funding formula. In essence his statement was that while all were not pleased with the present formula for distribu- ting funds, it seems that this is the method that most counties are using; and there is no better method known at this time for distribution. In view of this, it is believed that the present system of distribution should be maintained until a better method is found. Commissioner Hedrick inquired if Mr. Lowrance knew of any needs that are not being met, and Mr. Lowrance replied he did not know of any.
