Butte District to Save Mills on Bond Payment
Butte School District trustees plan a roughly 1% mill reduction for District No. 1 as a $48,600 balance from a $2,459,380 bond issue is placed into the sinking fund. County Attorney M. F. Hennessey advised the funds must be used only as ballot outlined, with any excess applied to principal and interest, enabling a lower mill levy in future years.
