Public hearing, set for I0:a.m., May 2, 1973, in the Superior Courtroom, Courthouse, Lillington, was called to order at 10:00 a.m. by the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, for the pur- pose of hearing discussion relevant to the levying of the I% sales tax. The Chairman, after calling the meeting to order, indicated that proper legal notification had been made in the mwspapers and that the people of the County were duly notified of the holding of the public hearing. All members of the Board were present, with the exception of Duncan P. Ray, Jr., Vice Chairman, being hospitalized in the Betsy Johnson Memorial Hospital in Dunn, N. C. Chairman Brock asked the County Attorney, Edward H. McCormick to take charge of the hearing and allow all persons present whishing to be heard, a chance to speak. Issues to be spoken to: 1. should the It sales tax be imposed 2. is this tax more equitable than other taxes. Then, if levied, should collection thereof be on per capita basis (giving more to the county) or should collection be on ad valorem basis, (giving municipalities more). Mayor W. P. Elmore, Dunn, presented the following written statement: "Mr. Chairman and members of the County Commissioners 1 would like to submit here today a copy of the resolution the Dunn City Council approved on September 7, 1972, asking the County Commissioners to levy the extra It sales Tax for Harnett County. No one is more aware of the increase in costs and the demand for better and more services than you Gentlemen of the County Board of Commissioners. Those of us who are in places of responsibility in our respective municipalities are also being called on for better and more services, and just to stand still is more expensive each year; No one wants to pay more taxes, but if we as elected officials are to carry out the programs that we now have, and improve them and expand them, then we must have more revenue. In the past, it has been that we increased the property tax, but it is not realistic to continue to make real property carry the large share of the financing of these services. Harnett County is surrounded by other counties who have levied this tax and now 83 out of the 100 coun- ties have already levied this increase. Considering the fairness of this tax, 1 submit that we should levy the I% sales tax and spread the cost to all persons on a fair and equal basis. William P. Elmore, Mayor Dunn. N. C. Jonah Caudle, Dunn, N. C. spoke against the commissioners' levying the taxes, wanted it to be only upon the vote of the people. Hoke Smith, Mrs. Haywood Hall, Alton Gray and Mayor Ronald Coats spoke in favor of the tax being levied by resolution of the Commissioners. The Board took no definite action but did indicate that a resolution was being prepared for the May meeting and would be taken under consideration at that time at the May Meeting. Meeting adjourned at 11:00 a.m. '7/. W Secret y Chairma v rt Clerk to the Board
