Jackson City Council Sets Sixteen Mills Tax Levy
The Jackson city council announced there will be no election this fall to seek voter approval for a school tax levy. A 16 mill city tax for 1921 was fixed, covering school needs six mills, interest and sinking five mills, and general purposes six mills. The council refused to call a higher school levy, aligning with a recent act allowing an increase from six to ten mills if approved by voters.
