Erie WCTU eyes eight mill county tax rate
In Erie's tale of tax policy a faint hope surfaced that the county eight mill rate could remain in 1936. Controller Harvey Willis proposed trimming budgets and slashing appropriations to avoid a tax increase, with a possible $125,000 cut for poor relief and a planned 50 voting machines purchase looming as a potential expense that could erase savings. The final decision hinges on the new county board and February timing. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union held a meeting with Mrs. Drake and other leaders, discussing education, membership drives, and charitable activities.
