Assessors back rethink of personal property tax in Illinois
William J. Moore, a tax assessor supervisor, told Southern Illinois tax assessors in Carbondale that Illinois laws on personal property tax are outdated like a horse and buggy in the rocket age. He urges classification based taxation for intangibles and autos, proposing rates from 3 to 55 percent, and supports abolishing tax on home furnishings and clothing to fund local needs such as schools.

In Lieu Of Taxes Federal Land To Yield More Money For Counties
Williamson, Jackson and Union counties will receive large increases in lieu of taxes from Crab Orchard Wildlife Refuge under a new federal rule. Counties gain funds for schools and road work, with 1966 estimates of 54 588 in Williamson, 54 in Jackson and 235 in Union. The change shifts payment from timber sales to 0.75 percent of current land value, aiding county finances as federal lands leave tax rolls. Funeral services for Mrs. Virgie Baxley held Friday in Christopher First Christian Church.
