Taxpayers Pay Less Even With Tax Hike in Long Beach
Long Beach faces a 2.2 cent rise in the city tax rate to 1.4584 per 100 of assessed value for 1969-70, yet average homeowners save about 15 dollars due to Prop 14 exemptions and the elimination of household furnishings tax.

Individual funds show varied changes across general, library, bond, recreation, transportation, and park districts.
