City to Cut Estimated Appropriations to Meet Tax Levy
City officials plan reductions totaling about 5 900 dollars to bring the 1908 estimated appropriations in line with law. A total levy around 11 65 mills is too high by 166, and the finance committee will trim service and general fund appropriations. The mayor notes a lower cash valuation would raise the rate but reduce value for money, urging a more equitable tax system.
