Tax roll reform urged as Oxford seeks fair assessments
Oxford officials face criticism for underassessing real estate, banks, merchandise, and valuables totaling about 476 000 dollars. A disinterested tax assessor is sought to ensure equal levies, with twelve to fifteen mills proposed to fund city needs. The Eagle notes limited public access to tax rolls despite calls for transparency and mentions community support for a county nurse through a Red Cross roll call, led by Emily Healston and Marvel Rainey.
