Hamilton is preparing for the last big outing of the season, the llmiy- cii'hth annual Labor duy celebru- lion, to be held under the the Co-operative Trades and Labor council, on Monday, September 1, at i i --i county commissioners, the conn ty, city and schools entered into a agreement" Friday for the organization of a joint bond program cpmmittee. Because there is to be a reappraisc- ment of real estate in 1931 and because at its neit session the legislature is to enact new tax laws which may be "revolutionary" in nature, Commissioner W. Swan, speaking for the hoard, they could not enter upon program if any attempt were made to set a tax rate, in advance of neit year. The ctiy and schools agreed to the reservation, and the committeee be organized September 5.

Middletown's city government, schools and Civic association were represented at the meeting held at the county commissioners' office. Attractions of various kinds will draw persons from all over Butler and adjoinin- 1 1 counties, antl Walter Gibbons, chairman of Middletown City commission, Middlotown at present gram of improvement which call for the issuance 'of bonds the said pro- will and liic time is not ripe- for the forma- IIW 1-imo Jo uvu Tir--j tion of a joint committee for Mm- dlctown. He did however, eiprcss himself in accord with the princi- -pie of the program, and said Mid- illctown, where the sofiools also arc laken care of for several years, will come into the picture at the proper time and co-operate. The purpose of the bonding program is to determine, over a five- year period, the amount money that will 'be available to each of the i three government subdivisions for debt service and capital outlay, and to plan in advance so that tho three units will 'be in accord on thc'propr cr time to issue bonds for any particular improvement. EnuaUie In short, the program will seek to avoid a condition where county, city schools might be submitting bond James in any one year.

Such an arrangement, it is said, will eventually enable the three group's to agree upon an-equitable tax rate. It was on the tai rate question that the commissioners were un- Killing to agree, the reappraisal of property mil; alter (lie tax duplicate, -on. which tho rate is based, and the concensus of opinion was that the revaluation mil result in a lower tax rate. On this point Commissioner Swan said: "Neit year the two unknown factors enter into this program--the leappraisal and the almost certain change in the tai laws. If we don know what the tax duplicate is to be we certainly can't fix a tax rate.

Also, the legislature may make revolutionary chitiges in Ihe tax laws, and we do not know what the result will be. Wait Two Years conditions, it seems to me, militate strongly against promising a.certain tax rale for nest We would be extremely unfortunate if we would set a maximum tax rate which, next year, we would to increase, and I for one would not want to sit on this board if we couldn't make good our promise on the tax rate. "After two years, when the tax duplicate for the next six years is known and after we have found out what the legislature is going to do, we might be then in a position to ift our tax rale in advance." To a question of Mayor Raymond Burke, Mr. Swan said he agreed with the program in Mayor Burke and J. H.

Skinner, representative of tho Cincinnati Bureau of Governmental Research, which prepared Ihc survey on which (lie joint bond program is based, Ki-e'ed it would be "folly," in view of the coming conditions, to attempt to set a tax rale.
