Newtown Tax Meeting Sets 18 Mill Levy and Finance Debate
The Newtown annual tax meeting at Town Hall chose an 18 mill levy with any surplus to be added to the next year. First Selectman W. C. Johnson outlined a budget requiring 17 mills to cover costs if storms do not raise road work expenses. A 40 percent grand list raise was ruled out by the chair, and a petition to reconvene for a 12 mill levy was proposed by supporters of tax method consistency. The report also notes obituaries, marriages, and local social events including the O Connell and Murphy family notices and church-related arrangements.
