Sullivan Judge Bandy Recommends Lower Tax Rate for County
Sullivan County Judge T Bandy urged approval of a 3 70 tax rate, a 38 cent cut from the present rate, saying the county can operate the coming fiscal year without deficits. He outlined progress on the county blacktop project begun in 1947, noting all but about 13 1/2 miles have been graded drained and base laid, with surface treatment to follow. He did not recommend converting the courthouse basement for more office space, citing cost and efficiency concerns and suggesting school improvements at Blountville Elementary instead.
