County Purse Has Less Of A Bulge At End Of 1969
Huron County closed 1969 with $86,596 less cash on hand than at year start. Despite higher investment income, costs rose and flood related road and bridge work increased. Property tax income dipped, but interest revenue rose to $119,474. Motor vehicle licenses stayed strong at $770,138 aided by a $5 tag tax and shifts in license plate purchases. The landfill operated at a $6,390 deficit, with three years of activity showing $46,272 income vs $80,717 expenses, though 1970 projects expect an $18,200 surplus.
