County Won’t Hike Tax Rate for 1961
County commissioners announced a unanimous decision to keep the 1961 property tax rate at 1.88 per 100 assessed value, while scrutinizing every budget item to curb expenditures. They cited past increases in 1959 and 1960 and aim to avoid further rises as assessments rose and revenue sources shift to meet county operations. The budget plan includes school costs, librarian and health department requests, with tentative approvals for Health Department and Children’s Aid Society. The group aims to finish detailed budgeting by Saturday with county accountant Donald Woods assisting.
