County tax hike likely to stand says auditor
County Auditor A T Eaves Jr. says new revenues may not exceed 100000, keeping the planned 1971-72 levy possibly unchanged. He notes federal grants and state funds have arrived but a major revenue boost remains unlikely, with the current levy at 3.01 per 100 and a potential rise of up to 70 cents only if revenues surge.
