Ferguson plans five million tax cut for Ohio real estate
Ohio State Treasurer Joseph T. Ferguson proposes a five million dollar real estate tax cut in 1961 by eliminating the two tenths of a mill levy for WWII bonus bond retirement. If approved by the Sinking Fund Commission, the cut would reflect on 1961 tax bills while a separate three tenths of a mill levy remains for Korean War veterans bonuses.
