Residents Question Use of Tax Funds in Sierra Madre
Councilman Lorne Pratt surveys 200 residents by letter to gauge public sentiment on how sales tax revenue should be spent. He favors funding a swimming pool and park development before a new city hall, with total pool and park costs estimated at 80 000 to 90 000, and notes possible five year financing from the levy. The 1956 57 revenue is about 40 000 and a tax reduction could save property owners 16 to 18 dollars annually.
