The current issue of the Reader's Digest, in a story condensed from the National Civic Review by James N. Miller, tells the story of the former Carbon County board of commissioners for having called upon the Pennsylvania Economy League for counsel in operating the county government. The story, "How to Watchdog a Town Budget," tells of how in a small town governemnt, administered by amateurs, spending is big, taxes are rising fast, and waste is often great. It also gave pointers on how the county could be run more efficiently.
