Six Cents Library Will Cost Taxpayers in Coshocton
Coshocton residents would pay about six cents per hundred dollars of tax valuation to fund a Carnegie library. Auditor Lamberson estimates annual maintenance at 1500 dollars, with broad support from local figures including Judge Roche, M. Baker, W. Burns, and others who argue the library’s long term value outweighs the modest rise. Locations proposed include court square, Sixth and Main, and Fourth Street areas, with calls for a fireproof building and central site to benefit the whole county.
