City Taxes And Water Rate To Be Increased
The Mayor and Board of Aldermen approved a five-cent tax rate rise to 1.45 per $100 for 1952 and a about 20 percent water rate increase. Public discussion was not held as Frederick citizens did not attend. The 1952 budget totals 963,274, up about 125,000 from 838,000, aided by a 900,000 bond issue and wage increases. Departments face tighter controls and surplus use to avoid higher rates, with quarterly budget reviews and a December 27 budget adoption at City Hall.
