Trustees Seek Tax Increase For Elwood Public Library
Elwood trustees propose a 17 cent tax levy for 1955 to fund the public library. Last year the board sought 1 cent but county action cut three cents from operating funds, leaving most budget items unchanged. A drop in assessed property values requires a higher rate to operate similarly. A separate note reports a $200 break-in at the Madison County Farm Bureau Co operative building with only money taken from a hiding place. Police and sheriff’s deputies investigated. Hospital notes list dismissals admissions and a birth at Mercy Hospital.
