Linn County Board Approves Reappraisal Plan
Linn county conference board agrees to a $60,000 1966 appropriation for a county wide reappraisal of all property outside Cedar Rapids. A 0.75 mill 1966 tax levy would fund it with a $125,000 cost in 1967 and reassessments would appear on 1970 tax books. The plan faces dissent from Center Point Mayor Blake Shipton but advances with 12 members voting and half the board absent.
