Decatur Licenses Unchanged by 1930 Census Findings
Preliminary census results from Huntsville indicate Decatur’s population may near 16 000, but license tax rates for state and county privilege taxes will likely stay the same. Had Decatur reached 20 000, many business lines would face higher taxes, though legislation would be required to change rates. Some other cities near 20 000 will see increases. The final census totals are not expected to reach 20 000.
