Potter County commissioners set the tax levy at 62 cents per hundred dollars, unchanged from last year, with an equalization board session pending to adjust valuations which are unofficially expected to exceed last year’s 31 092 220. County Assessor Miss Jewell Davidson cited new buildings higher real estate values and stock increases as drivers, offset by losses in intangibles and railroad rolling stock. Tax distribution splits include 7 cents jury, 2 cents road, 25 cents general, 15 cents courthouse jail, 3 cents hospital maintenance, 4.5 cents hospital sinking, and 5 cents for Tri-State Fairgrounds park. Local school districts submitted sinking and maintenance levies ranging from 15 cents to 75 cents for maintenance with varying interest and sinking rates.
