County tax may rise forty cents per hundred
Los Angeles County faces a possible 40 cent jump in the property tax rate from 1.9728 to 2.35 per 100 dollars of assessed value. The rise stems from court decisions on defense plant taxes and planned salary increases and capital projects. If lawmakers do not pass a new possessory interest law by May 15, the county faces a $7 million tax repayment burden and a 1959 60 budget already stretched by earlier pay raises and funding gaps.
