Canton to Debate 1931 Budget Cuts at Finance Meeting
Canton officials consider trimming city operating expenses for 1931 during a finance committee meeting led by Mayor Herman Witter and City Solicitor Russell H. Mack. County auditor plans a blanket 10 percent real estate valuation reduction, potentially saving or costing the city over $100,000 in the face of lower income and revised tax distributions. Retrenchment is pushed to align with anticipated income cuts and revised county allocations.
