Health and Mental Retar* dation Community Services Board, informed the Supervisors that their cut of SI,000 from Chapter Ten’s requested appropriation represented a $4,000 decrease in total budget. This comes at a time, he said, when Chapter Ten is anticipating a 90 percent increase in services for Rappahannock. To make up for the loss, he suggested transferring $300 alloted to the Lunacy Commission to Chapter Ten’s budget since both involved mental health. Hobson reported that the Commissin’s function would be taken over by the state as of July 1.
Luke agreed to the transfer, provided that a lunacy commission is no longer required.
Sheriff’s Deputy
“A lot of people feel as I do, whether this room is filled or not,” announced Pat Saltonstall in supporting Sheriff W. A. Buntin’s request for a third full-time deputy. "Realistically, I think we’re getting more than we pay for (from Sheriff Buntin and his deputies)," she said. Having public officials work 70 hours per week is both unfair and “bad personnel practice” and will result in a continual turn-over of discontented deputies, according to Mrs. Saltonstall.
‘‘I’ve watched Sheriff Buntin for eight years,” as a State Police trooper and as Rappahannock’s sheriff, she continued. “If he says he needs another deputy, that’s good enough for me—and a lot of people feel as I do.” Mrs. Saltonstall concluded that denying Buntin’s request for the third consecutive time would be “false and foolish economy” instead of a savings in local tax dollars.
