Tax levy ruling prompts extra 1.95 per thousand aid
Chickasaw county faces a $1.95 per thousand tax increase to fund the state bonus payment for World War II veterans. The additional levy applies to real and personal property, not on individuals, with tax lists to be refigured within three weeks to meet collection deadlines. The plan aims to cover $6,375,000 needed to pay principal and interest on $85,1000 in bonus bonds, amid debates on alternative financing from surplus funds.
