Sharp rise in city real estate tax eyed for 1956
A proposed increase in the city real estate tax to at least $2 per $1,000 of assessed value is anticipated for 1956, possibly near $3. The Board of Estimate has wrapped budget talks with department heads, but substantial reductions seem unlikely. Mayor Mead notes 1956 departmental requests total $28,126,524, up $2.55 million from this year, with Oswego Blvd arterial costs still unpriced and a related $3.3 million bond issue possible this fall.
