City County Battle For Tax Millage
The dispute over 1953 free 0.6 millage between Portsmouth and Scioto County halted without decision at the Monday budget hearing. City and county officials clash over a past agreement, sales tax shares, and whether the city should receive about $9,000 in the first half of 1953. If unresolved, the State Tax Commission may hear the appeal.

Public Hearing on City Zoning Set Wednesday
A public hearing is scheduled at Wednesday night’s City Council meeting with further discussion on Councilman Blaine E. Matthews’s 8.55-mill City Charter amendment. The measure, up for third reading, similar to a rejected November proposal, would bar the payroll income tax and allow voters a choice in May between a real estate tax via the charter and the income tax. The zoning hearing covers six sites including the George Taylor, Ray W. Nagle, and Ralph Chabot tracts and portions of 17th Street and Third Street. The Planning Commission favors reclassifying the Taylor Nagle and Chabot tracts to Residence B and changing Armory area and Kendall Avenue zones to Business A, with Third Street shifted from Residence C to Business B.
