Jackson County Loses Revenue From Tax Bill Delays
Delays in mailing tax bills due to computer problems cost Jackson County between 90 000 and 100 000 this year. The lag prevented earning interest on tax money and disrupted disbursements, forcing School District 165 to borrow 472 000 since August, paying 7 000 in interest. Glendale 160 and Giant City 130 borrowed 10 000 each with 600 interest. Unity Point De Soto Murphysboro Unit 186 and Carbondale District 95 borrowed none. The first tax disbursement was delayed to October. Costs include 42 700 for a National Cash Register 399 computer plus 5 850 to program and train, 1 871 maintenance, and a 9 600 yearly hire and a clerk to operate the machine. The computer serves other county functions beyond taxation.

Planning problems slow Jackson County tax bills in 1975
Jackson County shifted to computer prepared tax bills in 1975 causing two to three month delays. Officials cite lack of advance planning and coordination among county offices as primary causes while praising the computer’s potential for future operations including payroll and voter lists.

Harrisburg Repeals Prohibition Amid Mixed Reactions
Harrisburg voters ended a 32-year dry spell on April 15, allowing liquor sales in the city. Since legalization, three package stores, three restaurants, one tavern and several fraternal groups sell alcohol, with six licenses available. Casual drinkers had long traveled to Muddy or Shawneetown for spirits.
