Tax Receipt Drop Triggers City Spending Curbs
Lorain officials report a drop in intangible tax receipts and warn departments to limit spending to emergencies. City deputy auditor Anton Ujhelyi cites 1959 general fund receipts near 1.88 million with a projected 15 to 16 thousand decline, hoping other revenue may offset the loss. Intangible taxes had averaged about 20 thousand annually with 6,106 received so far in 1959, and no extra funds expected due to commission findings.
