12 cent Slash in County Tax Rate Possible
Long Beach taxpayers may see a nearly 12 cent cut in the 1949 50 Los Angeles County tax rate if the Board of Supervisors adopts a new budget figure of 130 562 622. The supervisors finished budget talks but left out 50 000 requested by Long Beach for lifeguard subsidies marking the first such omission in over a decade. Adoption of the budget is set for Tuesday June 28 with a lighter rate possibly taking effect in August and reducing October tax bills. Additional last minute items include 200 000 for Marina del Rey harbor, 300 000 for voting machines, 300 000 for a rapid transit survey, 200 000 for Pasadena sewer farm acreage for a golf course, and 100 000 to show good faith toward converting McCornack Army General Hospital in Pasadena to a county general hospital.
