Tax Levy and Railroad Property in City Budget Debate
The ordinance adds railroad property to general ratables for the coming year with a total $577,163.15 from the comptroller’s estimate, an $87,794 rise over last year. The increase funds city needs including schools, counties, and debt service while railroads contribute via sinking funds. City notes railroad payments and tax rates linked to state franchise receipts and city debt, with allocations supposed to mirror prior practice.
