Budget consternation as Greenburgh proposes 1941 town budget
The Greenburgh town budget for 1941 is 20 percent higher than last year with debt service rising by 140000 and revenue deficiencies. Operating costs would drop 4 percent to 25000 below 1940, yet overall deficits and higher taxes prompt calls for overhaul of municipal financing and tighter expense control. The Supervisor and Town Council are praised for reductions but blamed for failing to curb the large increases driving the tax burden.
