Taxable Basis Increase in Nashington County Levy Planned
Washington county commissioners will set an annual levy on June 1 after revising tax assessments which add substantial real and personal property to the taxable base. The 1913 levy funds schools roads and court expenses as the county school board requests 8,640 dollars for high schools and projects costs rising to about 13,340 dollars next year. State aid of 4,700 reduces the levy need to 8,640, with high school salaries totaling 11,440 and 1,900 for materials across related departments. At a Chestertown visitors meeting, Washington College agreed to admit Maryland residents who complete their home district course, tuition free if they qualify and maintain good character.
