County Expenditures Change the Tax Levy
County Council met yesterday but did not complete estimates for the next year's tax levy. Auditor Smith indicated the levy will likely match 1929 levels at 29 cents, with 4 cents for the sinking fund and 13 cents for gravel roads. No change to the gravel roads levy is expected, and the 2 percent county levy may be unchanged. Total appropriations for the coming year are projected between 475000 and 800000 dollars, with fuel cost increases offsetting last year’s appropriations not carried into the new budget.
