Countywide vote keeps school taxes in effect at 1939 tally
County and city totals show the three mill and one mill school taxes retained. Decatur favored the three mill tax by about nine to one, while the one mill tax passed countywide with a 66 percent majority, well above the 60 percent requirement. Officials say revoting won't raise taxes and the funds will sustain about 175000 dollars annually for the school system.
