City Board Sets Budget and Sees Stadium Closure Challenge
The Gaston city board adopted a tentative budget of 289,914.07 for the new fiscal year and tentatively set the 1948 tax rate at 1.60 per 100 valuation, with no change from 1947. A request to close the stadium due to sanitary concerns prompted debate, though a closing motion failed to receive a second. The budget relies on property taxes, water and lights sales, and various fees, while expenditures cover debt payments and other city costs.
