Lake County re financing saves taxpayers over ten years
Lake County officials cut principal bonds from 8 645 000 in 1929 to 6 470 000 in 1939 reducing debt by 2 175 000. The ad valorem levy dropped from 542 000 in 1929 to 60 000 for bond interest in 1939 saving 482 000 annually. Gasoline tax proceeds and bond refunding in 1935 under KR Drummer and Company further eased costs. Aims to eliminate ad valorem taxes on roads by 1941 with schools remaining taxed.
