Mayor Shank Resists 1926 Budget Increase Pushed by Board
Mayor Shank stood firm against raising the 1926 city budget after bowing to the city plan commission. He refused to lift the health board tax levy from 9 to 91 percent and dismissed the $150,000 temporary loan concept, noting $18,000 would come from higher valuation and savings over $20,000 by motorizing health inspector staff. He may act against the school board’s $1,500,000 boost request for 1926.
