Questions of Taxation Up for City Library Levy
The Algona city council voted to submit a library levy question at the coming election. A one mill levy would cover current expenses, while the law now allows up to two mills. The library has expanded and gained support, and if approved the library would become city property with mayoral appointment of the board. Separately, Judge Holmes ruled that the county cannot collect road taxes in incorporated towns, potentially voiding a one mill tax in Kossuth County for five years and prompting refunds.
