Tocka. (UP)—Cost of state and local government in Kansas is approaching an annual figure of a quarter of a billion dollars, the Kansas Government journal said today.
Kansas Budgets Taxes Going Up
John G. Stutz, executive director of the league, said high budgets are reflected in the 1946 general property tax levies. For cities of the first class, the rate for all purposes (including state, county, school and city) averaged 44.04, or 2.29 mills, 5.5 per cent higher than in 1945. The average total tax rates were 38.76, or 2.84 mills, 7.9 per cent higher for cities of the second class, and 3.4 mills, 2.7 higher for cities of the third class.
In its January issue, the organ of the League of Kansas Municipalities said that budget estimates for 1947 were at a record high.
The journal listed an anticipated expenditure of $213,443,625 in budgets for the state, county, city, school, township and other subdivisions.
The figure was 16 per cent above the 1046 expenditures, which were some $5\frac{1}{2}$ million dollars under budget estimates made at this time last year.
Thief Collects Radios
Guerraetta, Olda. (UP)–Police in this small city searched for a “mad-about-music” thief after receiving reports of a theft-a-day of radios for three consecutive days. The thief visited a different store each day. On one of the days, two radio thefts also were reported in nearby Okhalque. Police said the thief concentrated on portables.
Medical School Offers Refresher Course
A four-day refresher course in physical medicine will be presented Monday through Thursday at the University hospitals in Kansas City. The postgraduate medical course, which also includes a program for physical and occupational therapists, is sponsored by the School of Medicine in cooperation with the Kansas Medical society and the State Board of Health.
Enrollments have been received from physicians and therapists from medical centers and hospitals in Oklahoma and Missouri as well as Kansas, according to H. G. Ingham, director of the extension division which is handling administrative details.
Periods are scheduled for the use of physical medicine, for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, fractures, postural defects, poliomyelitis, neurological disorders, spinal cord injuries, and surgery.
