County Board Haste Lifts Tax Debate After Long Meeting
The board of supervisors wrapped a lengthy session amid disorder and rush to set next year’s tax levy totaling 18550892 dollars. State assessment consumes 97773.24 and a 267720.07 balance funds county bills and a Republican audit. Battle Creek gains a 20 percent property assessment boost adding about 4900 dollars to its levy. A late session left many items unresolved, with extra sessions possible and disputes over improper charges and discrepancies in poor relief accounts. A committee faces further scrutiny into 220 dollars in poor house repairs, 270.64 in supplies, and 2484.67 misallocated city relief, with a full report due soon.
