New Castle Sets Twenty Mills School Tax for 1923
The New Castle school board agreed to a twenty mill tax rate for 1923, plus a $3.00 per capita assessment, in hopes state aid will continue at about $115,000,000 annually. The budget calls for about $800,000 to run the schools, and the combined tax yield from the millage and per capita tax is expected to cover most expenditures, with state funds filling the gap if needed.
