Mr. Vance stated that the moneys are necessary for temporary • wages and salarys. He' noted that October 1 , is the federal deadline to encumber federal revenue sharing. In light of the fact that gasoline ' taxes anticipated are running at a consider- ably lower level than anticipated by the State Tax Board, there is at least a three-hundred thousand dollar ($300, 000. 00) short fall this year.
