Take It Off Gentlemen From Taxes In Walhalla Debate
A Walhalla discussion advocates removing the 40 to 50 percent added to general tax levies for 1909 and later years. It explains tax structures, bond retirements, and the impact on total levy, arguing the same economic result whether described as a 50 percent or 80 cent total rate. The piece recounts attorney fees and a trial in the Mayor's Court, noting a $3,022.36 bill with possible writeoffs, and details a 1909 damages suit against the town and Blue Ridge Railway.
