City Tax Rate Likely To Rise At Tuesday Budget Meet
A special meeting of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen Tuesday at City Hall will consider approving the fiscal year 1944 budget and likely raise the tax rate from 95 cents to about $1.15 to $1.20 per $100. The Singapore filtration plant work may drive the hike, with the surplus this year aiding funding. The budget committee has drafted an estimated budget including a larger garbage collection allotment, potentially creating a $6,600 to $7,000 deficit in that department. The city may borrow up to $29,000 for improvements but likely will rely on surplus and tax increases instead. The meeting will mainly review the budget and related figures.
