Good News From BART Sees Tax Rates Adjusted
The Bay Area Rapid Transit District announced a tentative 7 percent increase in the Alameda County tax rate to 1 Sheventh cents per $100 of assessed value for 1969 70, part of a plan to reach a peak in 1971. BART expects a smaller peak than planned, with the 71 72 rate pegged at 43 cents instead of 67, due to faster growth in assessed valuation. The 1969 70 budget of 39 175 886 funds bond interest and redemption, the rest covering administrative costs.
