Water Districts Get Tax Break
Hopkins County rural water districts won a tax break as Commissioners Court reduced each district's assessed valuation to $1 on county rolls after a delegation sought relief. Judge Palmer and spokesmen argued districts, as non profits, should not be taxed, but state law necessitated carrying them at 17 percent of borrowing with a 25 percent rate, roughly 4 percent tax. Effective date set on the 1971 rolls as most districts had paid 1970 taxes.
