Athens Countians Face Higher Tax Bills Despite Lower Rates
Athens and Nelsonville residents will pay about 5.5 percent more in 1974 taxes due to higher millage and statewide value increases. County auditor Ruth Seaman reduced millage in 26 subdivisions, while the State Board of Tax Appeals raised property values by 15 percent in townships, 8 percent in villages, and 7 percent in cities. Final rates, district by district, reflect these changes and bills are set to mail in February with payments due at month end.

Judge Lowell Howard was to propose procedures for a third arbitrator but talks shift to a Tuesday meeting between Mollica and Lavelle to seek a negotiated rate. The council had rejected the company’s requested increase forecasting arbitration under the current franchise.
