Plainview tax protests erupt over school valuations
About 30 property owners in the Plainview Independent School District protested a revaluation of property by a firm hired by the board. Farm land values rose from 200 to 450 per acre, costing owners $3.38 per acre. A petition with about 800 signatures asks for modification as the 1970-71 budget rises 19 percent to provide salary increases for teachers, while 44 fewer teachers are planned and three schools closed.
