City board approves tentative budget with tax rate plan
The city board of directors in regular session approved a tentative appropriation budget based on a tax rate of 1.00 and plans to pass the full budget at the third August meeting. Officials discussed refunding bonds to cover August maturities without raising overall indebtedness and reduced the tobacco license tax from 30 to 10 dollars per year, cutting city revenue by about 2625 dollars. The board declined to lower theater or automobile taxes and approved poor room licenses for Matt Drewery and D A Fudge.
