Corry property owners may see a small saving on municipal taxes as the City Council considers a tax levy ordinance. The proposed levy would rise between one and two mills despite a 25 percent valuation cut. Mayor Frank T. England says the increase will likely be about one and a half mills to cover operating costs. Drafts of the levy and appropriation ordinances will be reviewed tonight, with approval on first and second readings expected to pave the way for final passage December 18. Council emphasizes economy and notes some members oppose any levy rise, while others support up to two mills to offset valuation declines. Further Civil Works and municipal matters will be discussed at the meeting.
