Hospital tax plan and a mix of local notes
A column opens with light diversions and a reminder to vote on the Palo Alto county hospital proposition Friday. It notes a 90 cent per hundred real estate tax hike for towns and a 6.5 cent per acre rise in rural areas over 20 years. The piece also includes quips on marriage rules, a well wish to Yankee fan Whitney, and a jab at government pamphlets for cabbage seed price reductions.
