School Tax Boost Urged for 1953 Budget in Gallipolis
Gallipolis city school board approved a $252 020 budget for 1953 and moved to present a resolution asking voters to approve a school tax increase due to state duplicate tax changes. The board accepted coal and construction bids, approved flooring and painting for the Washington School addition, and planned repairs to the old building. Superintendent Higgins forecast receipts of $264 421 with a $12 401 surplus and noted state aid would drop if the levy falls below eight mills.
