Muscatine Ranks Low in School Tax Levy at Board Meeting

A 1908 Iowa city tax levy report shows Muscatine at 25.5 mills, lower than similar cities like Burlington, Cedar Rapids, and Davenport which levy higher rates aided by greater assessed valuation. The article notes Davenport’s higher property value yields a larger school fund and higher teacher salaries, while Boone’s 10 mill building levy is separate.
