Taxpayer strain grows as city faces high costs
Mayor Scanlon notes about 10 mills of the current tax levy fund state mandated expenditures. He cites a state order forcing operation costs up at the sewage disposal plant, now three times higher and failing to meet all state orders. A councilman warns the city has hit an absolute tax ceiling at 50.91 per 1000, risking essential services without relief. A constitutional amendment would require two legislative sessions and a voter referendum, delaying any effect until mid-1951.
