Beattie eyeing tax hold while fearing rise in 1971
Supervisor Francis H. Beattie remains hopeful about the year but warns taxes may rise as law enforcement costs and welfare demands grow. He notes the county jail opening next year will shave about five cents from the tax bill, while water supply issues and state and federal funding shape fiscal pressure. He calls for state control of welfare funds, possible desalting and storage options, and new water rules, with a 1971 capital outlay plan and an air pollution district to be in place by next summer.
