County OKs 72 Cent Levy for Bexar Hospital District
Commissioners set 1956 tax levy at 72 cents and a 73 cent rate for the hospital district. Debate centered on operating costs, with estimates showing needs from 250,000 to 1.5 million annually in different conditions. Hospital board chair Angus Cockrell said the district’s budget relies on a sustained levy to borrow 250,000 for the year and to address indigent care below national averages. Residents face higher taxes to fund hospital services and road bonds in the broader budget.
