Uniform Occupation Tax Set For 1957 In Lawrence County
Lawrence County will implement a uniform occupation tax in 1957 set at 150 dollars per year for each occupation held by a person over 21. The board of commissioners unanimously approved the plan proposed by Commissioner Edward F. McConahy, with only a minor change. Assessors will still prepare lists under the chief assessor, and all occupations will be evaluated equally based on the county millage rate, currently 10 mills. The move aims to comply with the state constitution and reduce labor costs while increasing net yield. In a separate matter, District Attorney Perry L. Reeder asked to continue involuntary manslaughter cases against Richard Lee Bayer and Jack L. Busher until September due to the illness of key witness Rev. John Louden. Trials had been continued previously at the court's request. the August 21 collision in Union Two led to the deaths of Joseph Habib and Frank Russo. Reeder planned to present his petition today.
