January tax yield estimate for High Point
The January listings tally suggests the city's valuation will rise from 347.7 million to about 362 million, a near 14 million increase driven by higher real estate and gains in personal property and utilities. The boost will feed into the 1969 70 budget though officials doubt it will cover planned increases as bonded debt payments rise by 575 thousand.
