Library Asks 3 Tax Cut in Audrain County
The Mexico Audrain County Library board unanimously requests reductions in the library tax levy from 20 cents to 17 cents on the tax books to fund the library district serving Mexico and surrounding communities. The move lowers the $100 valuation by 9 cents for some taxpayers and follows a budget review showing the full levy unnecessary for the coming year. The board also approved buying an 8 millimeter projector and films for public borrowing and noted new acquisitions including Stock Outlook by Standard and Poor's, League of Women Voters handbook, and Afro American books donated in memory of Mrs. Ridgeway.
