Cameron School Valuations Increase to 50 Percent for 1970 Taxes
Cameron Independent School District trustees voted 7 to 0 to raise property valuations to 50 percent for 1970 7i taxes with 1.50 per 100 dollar rate slated to drop after next year’s budget. Superintendent Dodson cited rising state funds requirements for teacher pay raises and facility needs. The measure preserves tax stability despite expanding duties from annexations and expected salary hikes. A committee led by Dodson will inspect facilities including Yee High School field house Ada Henderson cafeteria and Ben Milam Auditorium to guide remodeling without new bond issues.
