Last year Plymouth county collected 2.2 mills for general purposes ($86,000) and 4 mills for soldiers bonus bonds (about $16,000), now raised to 5.5 mills and projected to yield $22,585 next year. Net tax relief totals $79,415, offset partially by county fund increases for estate and federal aid tied to poor relief and TR eradication.
