Brate Claims County Can Meet Low Tax Rate
Feb 43 county auditors before the Ohio Tax Commission, now acting as a State Board of Equalization for real estate, express agreement that a 4 percent tax rate bill should pass before personal property assessors start. They favor a 2 percent maximum rate and worry over assessment law changes. Joseph E. Brate of Butler County urges his county can live under a 1 percent rate, noting Hamilton may struggle if debts not excluded, while townships could fare well. E C Lampson of Jefferson, Ashtabula County, argues the duplicate would underfund government by 10,000 to 1,000,000 dollars and that much personal property cannot be freed from concealment. Lampson was the lone opponent at the meeting.
