County Board to Review 1949 Budget and Tax Rate
The board plans to begin serious work next week on the 1949 budget and tax rate. Several major budgets are still outstanding, delaying decisions. A public schools budget seeks about 100000 more than last year, with potential rises in welfare and health funding. The Roads Board requests increased county funds for construction and maintenance, while a larger assessor base could yield 30,000 to 40,000 more in taxes. State tax rate remains essentially unchanged at 11.15 cents per 100 dollars.
