Cambridge Reduces Tax Rate to 40.50 for 1936
Cambridge officials announce a 50 cent drop in the 1936 tax rate to 40.50, aided by 175,570.50 of 1935 excess revenue and 52,000 extra revenue due to trustees of the Cambridge Electric Light Company. Mayor Lynch hails the cut as fulfilling a campaign pledge and pledges no service or staff cuts despite property losses and rising welfare costs.
