Suburbs Face Tax Shakeup in Cook County Revaluation
The column analyzes Marcy S. Cudmore's proposed base of 3/7 percent on new valuation for Cook County. It suggests downtown Chicago taxes would drop about 21 percent while suburban and outlying areas rise roughly 50 percent. Officials fear revenue shortfalls for city services, schools, and boards, with changes unlikely before 1924 taxes. Governor Emerson signals no personnel changes to the tax board until the Cook County issues are clarified.

Fees From Homes For Garbage Costs In Forest Park
Forest Park officials consider charging residents a monthly or weekly garbage fee after two weeks of testing dumping costs at Esch's dump. The test showed roughly 7323 in two weeks and 530.23 for the first night, pushing monthly costs above 3000. City leaders plan to draft an ordinance to bill residents directly, possibly about one dollar per family per month, or less if only the additional costs are collected. The incinerator proposal may be sent to voters again, with direct collection likely to cover expenses in the interim.
