Lexington awaits NC Supreme Court ruling on county road tax
Davidson county officials and Lexington citizens await the North Carolina Supreme Court decision on the county city road tax case. About 65 000 dollars are involved from 1928 1929 taxes with a potential larger sum from 1930 taxes. City commissioners recently raised the tax rate 32 percent but tied the rise to a ruling on tax sharing with county for street improvements. The case has dragged through courts for months with no early decision.
