Pomeroy Council Votes Five Year Tax Levy Action
Pomeroy faces expenses exceeding income and will place a three mill levy for five years on the November ballot. Unpaid water and light bills total about 24000 dollars as the town struggles to cover utility costs. John B. Downing of Meigs Water Company cites annual business taxes near 5000 dollars and offers to sell. A committee will review the water books, and engineers will estimate damages from a new dam below Gallipolis. Fire hose purchase of 500 dollars authorized.
