Meigs Auditor Cites Reasons for Two Mill Levy Approval
Meigs County Auditor George Daniels argues for an extra two mills on August 9 citing revenue losses from declines in tax duplicate and rate. He shows tax base drops from 22.1m in 1930 to 13.8m in 1934, a 37 percent decrease, and explains current funds cover county payroll, elections, and essential services. He notes unpaid general fund obligations total about 71,070.33, plus 50,000 needed for highway upkeep from gas tax and license funds.
