Austin tax split keeps rate at 2.75 for 1950
City and schools will share the 2.75 dollar tax rate for 1950. City maintains 1.3735 dollars and schools 1.3765 after bond needs. Total bond obligations for 1950 reach 938,552.79 dollars, with July and January payments listed. Projected new bond issues of 1.65 million are planned, including hospital and school securities, with interest estimates. Residential construction and new tax base rose due to 1948 buildouts, while economists anticipate higher building costs later.
