Point Pleasant Court to Take Action On Financial Losses
In a Saturday meeting at the Mason County Court House a delegation from the Point Pleasant Chamber of Commerce and the Mason County Farm Bureau told the Mason County Court of Commissioners that steps will be taken to correct county school losses and to pursue a fair re valuation and equalization plan. The court favored hiring three full time deputies for the assessor to begin in January to meet the 1958 45 percent state requirement. They said an independent out of state agency for equalization should be decided by voters in August and the board would follow that result. The chamber and Farm Bureau favor an out of state agency as soon as funds allow in 1958 and support an across the board increase to meet state requirements. Twenty PTAs have endorsed the plan and petitions, including one over 500 names, are circulating. Delegates included Ray Crank and Lyle Austin from the Farm Bureau and J Hyre George Hervey and John Sayre from the chamber.
