County budget hearing looms as building frame rises
Commissioners and contractors spoke this week about the facility frame going up soon and ready for indoor work despite weather. A public hearing on the 1997 budget drew lively debate on the tax rate after Auditor Bayer presented figures. Terry County's assessed valuation dropped to 521,804,551 from 530,643,901, necessitating a tax rate of .66320 per 100 valuation to match prior revenue.
