Gas Promoters Plan For Tax Free Gas Improvements
Gas promoters discuss a plan where property would pay no tax for improvements. If gas supply runs out before bond costs are paid, property taxes would cover remaining acts, but the risk is minimal per government reports on the large gas field. Even then taxes would not exceed nine mills district wide. Fort Smith waterworks used a similar plan and bonds were met by water profits. Property holders have paid only the first annual payment. Higher gas prices mean tax would be higher than the proposed levy, and cheap gas could boost growth in Little Rock Pine Bluff and nearby towns along the line.
