Sidney Board Holds Tax Line Amid Higher 73 74 Budget
The Sidney Board of Education voted four to zero to spend 50 000 from the cash reserve and reduce the tax requirement to 892 466 for the 1973 74 fiscal year. The move avoids a 35 000 tax increase and cuts the mill levy by about 1 to 1.5 mills while the district awaits assessed valuation and state aid changes.
