Oak Hill council deferred action on a merchant committee proposal to raise 15,000 through a gross sales tax. The plan aims to replace revenue lost after defeat of a property levy with a rate tied to state figures, proposing 11 percent of state rates and 90 percent of deductions as a minimum of 50. A five hour meeting preceded merchant approval as council weighs a flat rate versus a percentage based on state guidance.

Oak Hill Street Lighting and Meter Shift Discussed
Council last month asked for another survey to evaluate recovering meter revenue losses by moving meters to side streets. Morton cited reduced operating costs and easier access for patrons in outlying Oak Hill areas. In other business, a street light on First Avenue in Broadview Addition was approved at the request of Rice Scott and Edna Harris who built new homes after leaving the expressway path. A drainage tile plan for the Oak Hill Swim Club site was considered, with 18 inch tile proposed and police chief Janney noting 50 feet would suffice.
