Tax Duplicate in Gallia Reports Heavy Losses in Valuation
Gallia County recorded a $1,117,547 drop in personal tax duplicate value from 1933 to 1938 with returns falling from $2,374,200 to $1,256,653. Diverted taxes mainly fund schools as money from auto licenses was redirected to road funds in 1936, while exemptions and non-returns shrink general fund revenue. County Treasurer E. D. Keeler notes no bonded debt due to aggressive collection despite red ink and widespread tax dodging.
