Marti n : <br /> r��a►,y i nqui ri es have been recei ved ��ri thi n the 1 as t few �reeks rel ati ve <br /> to advancements of tax collections. LJe arish to apologize for not <br /> responding more promptly, but 4�re have been attempting to formulate a <br /> policy of payments that would be fair to all . This proposed policy <br /> change is now pending before the Qoard of County Co�issioners . <br /> The practice of makin4 advance� dgairst collections prior to the settle- <br /> ment dates established by lar�a was first initiated by the County of liennepin <br /> on an emergency basis only.

The State of ;?innesota, for example, has always maintained a <br /> strict policy of adhering to the dates established by laaa relative to the <br /> settlement of funds to counties dnd other political subdivisions and have <br /> never honored requests for advances.

You will note in the following paragraph extra payments for <br /> the year 1970 to permit you ample time to adjust your budgetary planning. <br /> Advances will be made only in response to a ���ritten request wherein the <br /> specific need or emergency is stated. <br /> I <br /> I <br />
