Tax rate debate and council postponement in Americus
Inclement weather kept Americus aldermen indoors as Mayor Felder and Alderman Wheatley led a slim contingent. The council postponed addressing the present year's tax rate though expectations favored a cut to one percent. Taxable property stands at about 4.2 million dollars, with other revenues from poll taxes licenses fines and water works. Citizens call for retrenchment and reform, urging reduced expenditures and salaries to support a lower rate. Tonight a Parsonage Aid Society meeting is planned at 1 pm at Dr. Eldridge’s residence. Judge Fish sits in Jefferson county court this week replacing Judge Gamble while Gamble fills the Macon bench.
