Highlands district taxes spark debate over future water district

Brinson explains Highlands residents face no taxes until 1955 with first payments due January 1938 as current water district rate stands at 70 cents per hundred. He notes a typical five room home valued around 3000 dollars taxed about 21 annually and a 400 dollar lot taxed about 2.80. Fire insurance savings may offset taxes as Highlands Park joins Highlands Volunteer Fire department and possibly shared rate. May’s private water system, six inch mains, and six inch meter plan influence rates. minimum district charge remains 2.50 for 5,000 gallons plus 1 monthly service fee. Officials do not plan bonds to buy May’s system. Meanwhile authorities search for a 16 year old in a separate incident involving a kidnapped girl and a theater screening, with detectives reviewing newscast footage.
