Shall Pella Vote On Municipal Band Levy
At a Chamber of Commerce meeting in Pella talk focused on asking voters at the upcoming city election to authorize a two mill tax levy to support a municipal band. The plan would raise about $1,000, with the rest raised by contributions. A petition from valid voters would trigger ballots. Some favor the idea, others oppose paying for concerts through taxes. A committee was authorized to study band plans and unite city musicians. The chamber also listed its annual assessment of $3,300, lower than last year due to fewer meetings.
