County Adopts New Tax Rates and Departments
Onondaga County supervisors approved tax rate increases for 19 towns and Syracuse. They also created a Department of County Research and Development with Charles F. Ames named director at $9,000 annually, amid opposition from Supervisor Thompson who favored cuts and warned of overlapping city and county bureaus. Additional appointments and budget items included weights and measures, purchasing, equalization, a Jewish chaplain, and a prison physician.
