Council Calls One-Cent Sales Tax Election For March 16
The Silsbee City Council set a March 16 election to approve a one-cent city sales tax. City officials say the tax would raise about $40,000 in the first year and help keep the city in the black, avoiding property tax increases. A citizens committee led by Mrs. Stuart Smith plans to distribute literature approving the measure, while health officer Dr. Sam Copeland was reappointed. The council also discussed increasing funding for the Silsbee Fire Department and renewing city tax collection efforts.
