Marion County Reinstates Pauper Levy For 1936
At an October 10 adjourned meeting the Board of Supervisors set a pauper levy of 39000 dollars, likely yielding 25 cents per 100 dollars in assessed value. The new law shifts township pauper levies to cover only pre July 1, 1935 indebtedness, creating dual levies in some townships next year. Patoka Township will only face the County Pauper Tax in 1936.
