Taxes Will Go Down in City Next Year
Mayor Taggart and Controller Johnson propose a reduced tax rate for the coming year from 70 cents per $100, trimming only part of last fall’s ten cent increase. They expect about $30,000 more revenue than this year, plus $20,000 from streetcar and $6,000 from Central Union Telephone, while departments face strict cuts. The plan targets a minimal levy with no new police or fire upgrades and slower park improvements, avoiding temporary loans. The council will receive the controller’s appropriations recommendation and the tax ordinance Friday night.
