Sullivan County Tax Levy Set At 1.83 For 1930s Budget
A Sullivan County committee urged the county court to approve a 1.83 tax levy for the next year to cut debt, arguing the rate reflects paying off bonds rather than borrowing. The plan raises the elementary levy to 65 cents and the high school levy to 22 cents, while highway funds shrink to 14 cents. The proposal includes 25 cents ordinary fund and 24 cents interest, totaling 1.83 per $100 assessed.
