Barbour County Levy Forecast and Reform Hope
The Barbour County Board of Education has not reported the full school levy for the year. It is unlikely any district will exceed 65 cents per $100 valuation, with 1905’s average levy around $2.20. The 1906 estimate for bridges and courthouse debt is $30,000, and the writer argues that without debt the levy would be about 8 cents per $100, and that new tax laws could bring needed reform, according to the Philippi Republican.
