94 Cent Tax Rate Planned For County
Madison County plans a 94 cent tax rate per $100 for 1963, down from $1.10, subject to County Council approval on Sept 4-6 and the Board of Tax Review on Sept 10. Auditor Joe Armington notes increased property valuations help offset the levy cut, with totals for the year showing 1,812,086 in state and local taxes, and city and county rates adjusting accordingly. Gregg Kincaid and 183 other Derby Downs racers in Akron vie for $30,000 in college scholarships and prizes, with Kincaid clocking 27.03 seconds in practice and aiming for the top prize.
