Auditors Start Calculating 16000 Tax Receipts
Friday the state set the Korean War bonus bonds levy, prompting the county auditor to begin computing over 16,000 tax receipts. Taxpayers should be able to pay 1956 taxes due in 1957 by mid January, about two to three weeks later than normal. The levy totals 31 cents per 1000 of real and personal property, plus a one mill levy on monies and credits to cover Korean bonus costs. Voters approved a 26 million bond issue to be retired over 20 years at up to 2.5 percent interest. questions remain about selling bonds at that rate. The tax commission provided the levy figures to auditors who will spread them across counties, adding to 0.75 mill for World War II bonus bonds.
