Faubus Foresees Slashed Millages After Tax Reforms
Governor Orval Faubus predicts Arkansas school districts can cut millages in 1958 thanks to a property equalization program. A Tax Assessment report shows over 500000 dollars of property added to tax rolls in two years, with valuations up 110 million and 5 million in extra tax money. He notes elections shift to December and equalization boards finishing work, enabling boards to set reduced millage while assessments rise, potentially lowering current rates.
